My room is like an antique shop, full of junk, and weird stuff. There's a big sword in there. And a taxidermy bird, and a couple of birdcages. And a lot of newspaper cuttings. I used to have a weird thing about cutting out morbid headlines from newspapers, and collecting them. I was fascinated with drowning, which is kind of strange.

I started off singing in church as a child. The sound of voices coming together, that was my first moment of touching something outside of myself.

It’s good to be vulnerable in amongst the grandeur you shouldn’t lose that sense of intimacy and vulnerability with people.
Florence Welch
Image
I can’t worry too much about the everyday things. Otherwise I’d lose touch with my own world, that helps me as an artist, but it’s frustrating for the people around me. I’m vaguely functional, but there’s always something slightly off.

Touring, and being in a band, it's almost like the other stuff, the other parts of life, get put on hold.
Florence Welch
Image
I'm obsessed with choirs, and always have been, because of that sense of overwhelming vocals.
Florence Welch
Image
Sometimes I wish for falling Wish for the release Wish for falling through the air To give me some relief Because falling's not the problem When I'm falling I'm in peace It's only when I hit the ground It causes all the grief

I've learned not to hide behind a veil of irony - to talk about my work in a more honest way.
Florence Welch
Image
The stage is a place where I can be wholly myself. Even though you're in front of people almost to be judged, it is a place without judgement.
Florence Welch
Image
When you're heartbroken, you're at your most creative - you have to channel all your energies into something else to not think about it. Contentment is a creativity killer, but don't worry - I'm very capable of making myself discontented.

Image
I love that sense of release as you throw yourself into the crowd as hundreds of arms are carrying you.

You live and you learn.

I was always that girl growing up who you could find dancing down supermarket aisles. It's that sense of not feeling inhibited. Dancing in supermarkets is my favorite thing.

I used to dress like an eight-year-old boy. Traveling has inspired me to be more experimental.

Having a soul, they say, is like taking sadness and turning it into something beautiful.

When something really hits me, it makes me want to either jump off something really high or lie down and be buried. I want people to get hit and caught by my music.
