More quotes by 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
Еhe older you get, the more baggage you have, and the harder it is to just split.
Lykke Li
I want people to have a good time. Its boring only to hear singer/songwriters spilling their guts.
Lykke Li
Driving, for me, means power and freedom. The feeling that I can go anywhere I want at any time is exhilarating.
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 felt such a deep connection with dolphins. I felt like they were the only ones who understood me.
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
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
Do you have to have emotional turmoil to create music? I'm not sure because I've never been without it
Lykke Li

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.
Lykke Li
I lived five years in Portugal and then spent winters in Nepal or India.
Lykke Li
I do it live on tape with a band. It's not like I'm doing electronic music with a laptop.
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 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
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
Sometimes women are so great and powerful, but then they surrender to these vain things. They kind of fall for it.
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
You can't stay in the desert, you go nuts after 24 hours.
Lykke Li
Life is greater when I'm dealing with something than when I'm just dreaming away.
