More quotes by Lykke Li
I'm a girl from Sweden. I took a lot of risks and went to New York by myself when I was 19 just because I read about it in a few books. I came here knowing nobody, having no money, and now I'm doing all these things like making records and videos every day.

I was going on this desert adventure with some friends and we were like, How amazing would it be to just drag all these mirrors out there? A lot of times I do things as an impulse and find out my inspirations afterward. Even with songs and lyrics, it can take me years to find out what I was actually trying to do.

I was totally romanticizing the idea of Los Angeles when the Doors, Joni Mitchell, and Neil Young were hanging out there.
Lykke Li
I hung out with some crazy desert people. One guy was just walking around with only shorts on - he'd been walking with bare feet for the last two years. He was totally scarred and eating on all fours like a dog.

Driving, for me, means power and freedom. The feeling that I can go anywhere I want at any time is exhilarating.
Lykke Li
I want people to have a good time. Its boring only to hear singer/songwriters spilling their guts.
Lykke Li
I don't love all hip-hop, but I do relate to stuff like early Nas, 2Pac, Biggie, and MF Doom because they're also trying to escape a scenario.
Lykke Li
Sometimes women are so great and powerful, but then they surrender to these vain things. They kind of fall for it.
Lykke Li
I want to get my music out there. I enjoy playing shows I just don't enjoy airports. I want to be more creative, but it's hard to get into that zone on tour.
Lykke Li
I feel it's so important to have strong women around you.

I lived five years in Portugal and then spent winters in Nepal or India.
Lykke Li
My whole art is based on escaping life and reality, which might not the best tendency to have when you're trying to be a good person in general. But people can escape into my world easily - artists are supposed to create a keyhole that people can look into.
