More quotes by 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
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 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 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
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 want people to have a good time. Its boring only to hear singer/songwriters spilling their guts.
Lykke Li
It's not a very sane thing to try to be great all the time.
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 was inspired by [Michelangelo] Antonioni's Red Desert - very big and moody.
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.
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 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
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'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 was totally romanticizing the idea of Los Angeles when the Doors, Joni Mitchell, and Neil Young were hanging out there.
Lykke Li
I lived five years in Portugal and then spent winters in Nepal or India.
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
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
I'm from Sweden so I don't enjoy winter at all there's nothing cute about it.
Lykke Li
I wanted to create something really aggressive and psychedelic
