I think waste of your brain is something that my mother would say to me occasionally - I think it's usually when I'm telling her something like that I can remember every outfit I've ever worn.

More quotes by Florence Welch
I've just never been a tracksuit-wearer.
Florence Welch
My visual landscape as a child was the inside of a lot of these old churches. And the Baroque drama of the things was what I was first engaging with artwise. I'm much more attracted to the aesthetic of religious iconography than the actual religious side. The passion and the blood and the violence and the gaudy side of it I find really fascinating.
Florence Welch
I try to maintain a healthy dose of daydreaming, to remain sane.
Florence Welch
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.
Florence Welch
For me, ‘Dog Days’ symbolizes apocalyptic euphoria, chaotic freedom and running really, really fast with your eyes closed.
Florence Welch
I'm completely in love with the world but also terrified of it. It creates some overwhelming feelings. Wanting to battle out that joy and fear is part of my music.
Florence Welch
I'm a choir girl gone horribly, desperately wrong.
Florence Welch
The aesthetic came along the way, I think - just through experimenting, and going on tour, and trying stuff out on stage, having fun with it, and not taking it too seriously. If I had a ballgown at home, I'd wear it onstage. If I found something in a charity shop, I'd wear it. That's where it grew from - just wanting to play dress-up.
Florence Welch
I always seem to feel that everything is about to cave in on me. I think that maybe music is my protection from that and in some senses it's an outlet to turn it into something euphoric: embracing the eventual decline.
Florence Welch
I saw 'The Artist.' It's really beautiful and it's all done to the letter with all the silent film techniques. The costumes were amazing and the dog is so good.
Florence Welch
I love that sense of release as you throw yourself into the crowd as hundreds of arms are carrying you.
Florence Welch
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.
Florence Welch
On stage, you can use your emotions. It's the place where you can channel them. They have a purpose.
Florence Welch
Love is horrible. I mean, when you're in love, it's like a sickness. Such madness.
Florence Welch
It’s good to be vulnerable in amongst the grandeur you shouldn’t lose that sense of intimacy and vulnerability with people.
Florence Welch
I've built my wardrobe color palette around red, so I'm happy with it, but I do get pangs when I see beautiful brunettes. I've already been blue, green, black, and blonde.
Florence Welch
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.
Florence Welch
I got to live out my 11-year-old fantasies - I got to go on stage with Green Day. Billie Joe called my name from the stage. 'Dookie' was the first album I ever bought. I covered the whole of 'Nimrod' and he'd heard it. That was like the 11-year-old girl dreamed.
Florence Welch
You can forget anything, and actually being a part of a crowd, of a group, can itself be freeing.
Florence Welch
I think I just get excited by music, and, like, singing is a very physical thing. It releases endorphins in your body. You're using almost muscle in there, and I think that adrenaline really helps to kind of make the songs fresh every time.
