In my experience, the psychological aspect of femininity tends to be more receptive and apathetic and delicate. I think that because the feminine is a bit quieter, we live in a masculine-dominated society. It is the front-forward force that runs the world. And that's not the fault of men by any means, that's just the way the world works.

I've always loved books by the Bronte sisters. I love Jane Austen, too. I'm more influenced by people like her than by pop culture.

I thought ‘I wonder what will happen if I try and root myself somewhere?‘ Look back over the past eight years.

But if i sit here and weep I'll be blown over by the slightest of breeze

I feel like I'm creeping closer to finding the situation that triggers songwriting, which is obviously an extreme of an emotion.

Take me somewhere I can grow Give me something let me go Tell me something I don't know

It took a lot of time and practice for me to realise that there's no point trying to be something you're not.

If I don't have an outlet in which to express myself...throug h songwriting or other mediums...I get a bit jittery.

Age is relative. Experience is relative. And I think often intensity is confused with maturity.
Laura Marling

I'm the first to admit that I'm still pretty young.

There's a house across the river, but alas, I cannot swim I'll live my life regretting that I never jumped in
