Women are presented with a very narrow aspect of the female narrative. And now we live in a culture and a time where it gets to us very quickly and very young. So how do you maintain in a child that sense of unique identity before they get thrown all that is projected on them?

I thought ‘I wonder what will happen if I try and root myself somewhere?‘ Look back over the past eight years.
Laura Marling
Image
I can't give up that quick My life is a candle and a wick You can put it out, but you can't break it down In the end we are waiting to be lit
Laura Marling

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

One woman I interviewed, Amanda Ghost, said, Let's not bullshit, there are no women at the top of the music business, and that is a serious problem. And I said, Yes! And I didn't shy away from saying that. But I still don't want to be in the firing line. I'm not clever or witty or brave enough to get into the political nitty-gritty with it

I feel like I'm creeping closer to finding the situation that triggers songwriting, which is obviously an extreme of an emotion.
Laura Marling
Image
I am quite competitive. In stupid things like card games.

I find it dull when my heart meets my mind

I think I'll feel out of place wherever I go on earth, forever. But that's fine. I have to make my peace with that.
