More quotes by Lykke Li
Life is greater when I'm dealing with something than when I'm just dreaming away.
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.
Lykke Li
I was 19 when I recorded my first album, and I've been exposed to many things during these last few years all the baby fat is gone.
Lykke Li
I wanted to create something really aggressive and psychedelic
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 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
I don't necessarily love all the collaborations that I've done the more I work with other people, the more I realize that I want to work with myself.
Lykke Li
You can't stay in the desert, you go nuts after 24 hours.
Lykke Li
Los Angeles is such a mysterious place because there's so much evil in that city, but there's also so much light. You can be totally alone on a hillside and I love that kind of secluded, deserted rawness.
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.
Lykke Li
After you've been wounded a few times, it's hard to let somebody get that deep again.
Lykke Li
It's not a very sane thing to try to be great all the time. You want to make something magical you want to make something wonderful you want to give to everybody you want to heal people you want to still be inspired. That's not easy.
Lykke Li
I hate the fact you always feel like you have to be going somewhere, like the end destination is to be finished, or to be happy. But the truth is a lot of us are completely lost, and we don’t know, and that is also a state of mind, to not know who you are and where you’re going.
Lykke Li
I'm really depressing. Some people watch comedy to relax. I watch 21 Grams. I can recognize sadness and tragedy really easily because it's been with me forever.
Lykke Li
I want people to have a good time. Its boring only to hear singer/songwriters spilling their guts.
Lykke Li
It would be amazing if people listened to it when they needed shelter it would be lovely if they didn't spit on it.
Lykke Li
I'm a really restless person I'm tired of the way I sounded or looked yesterday. So it's hard to hang onto this image of me as this young Swedish female in this world.
Lykke Li
In every person's life, around 27 to 29 years old, the stars and the planets align themselves to exactly the way they were when you were born. You're faced with yourself. There's no running away.
Lykke Li
It's not a very sane thing to try to be great all the time.
Lykke Li
I do it live on tape with a band. It's not like I'm doing electronic music with a laptop.
