Quote

The stage is the place I feel comfortable - it's almost as if real life is where I feel most nervous. Conversations are a lot more nerve-wracking.

Lay me down, Let the only sound, Be the overflow, Pockets full of stones.
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
Image
I definitely have a real self-destructive streak.
Florence Welch
Image
I have this sensation of being in flight all the time, but being on stage is like creating a sanctuary in which you can completely lose yourself. The bits of your personality that you keep under wraps in ordinary life, you can let them run free.

I've always been a bit of a decorator. I think if I wasn't a singer I'd probably be in stage setting or interior design or something. I like clutter and I'm quite visually greedy. I can't have things to be plain I have to have things looking interesting maybe I'm just a frustrated interior designer stuck in a singing career.

I'm a choir girl gone horribly, desperately wrong.

Image
I quite like the drama of an encore. I think an encore is for those artists who are inclined to do dramatic gestures, and I certainly would say I am inclined towards them.

Image
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.

Image
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.

Image
I get in fights with my sister all the time. She comes on the road with me and we fight - like sisters do.
Florence Welch
Image
I love that sense of release as you throw yourself into the crowd as hundreds of arms are carrying you.
Florence Welch
Image
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 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.

For someone so conflicted, who am I to give advice to anybody? It’s such a funny, grandiose idea
Florence Welch
Image
On stage, you can use your emotions. It's the place where you can channel them. They have a purpose.

Hands up if you’re ready to do something you’ll regret this weekend. Go forth! You have my blessing.

I'd gone from being this art student messing about with music to this girl with a record deal, magazine front covers and all this hype. In many ways, it was everything I ever wanted, but when it happened all I felt was total, paralysing fear.
Florence Welch
Image
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
Image
I think an encore is perfectly acceptable, but I find it so weird when people do two or three.

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.
