More quotes by Lykke Li
Life is greater when I'm dealing with something than when I'm just dreaming away.
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
I probably thought that about most of the things I did. But you wind up in situations where you have to make decisions very quickly, and you just go for it a lot of the time.
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 wanted to create something really aggressive and psychedelic
Lykke Li
It's not a very sane thing to try to be great all the time.
Lykke Li
I want people to have a good time. Its boring only to hear singer/songwriters spilling their guts.
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 from Sweden so I don't enjoy winter at all there's nothing cute about it.
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 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'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
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 lived five years in Portugal and then spent winters in Nepal or India.
Lykke Li
After you've been wounded a few times, it's hard to let somebody get that deep again.
Lykke Li
Do you have to have emotional turmoil to create music? I'm not sure because I've never been without it
Lykke Li
I was inspired by [Michelangelo] Antonioni's Red Desert - very big and moody.
Lykke Li
I was totally romanticizing the idea of Los Angeles when the Doors, Joni Mitchell, and Neil Young were hanging out there.
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 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.
