Florence Welch Quotes

I love performing outside because it’s as if the heavens are open and the elements become part of the stage show as well - you know, the wind and the rain and the thunder. It’s almost as if there’s a sense of invocation in performance Picture Quote #1

If you asked me to go back to being 14 or 15, I couldn’t - it was a terrifying time. I was so awkward in my own skin. I used to hide behind my hair because I was so ridiculously self-conscious Picture Quote #1

But I was always much more interested in reading fashion magazines than I was music magazines when I was a teenager. Just that sense of romanticism and escapism and the dream of it has always been quite alluring to me, as well as that sense of becoming a character through clothes Picture Quote #1

I dyed my hair red when I was ten and when I was 11 - in my goth period - I dyed it black and I was really into witchcraft. I made mini shrines in my bedroom with candles and tried to cast spells to make the boy in the next class fall in love with me. I don’t think he did Picture Quote #1

I’m down to bleach my eyebrows again. I tell you what, though - that didn’t go down well with my boyfriend. Girls love it. Guys, not so into it Picture Quote #1

The release of ‘Lungs’ was so hard. It was terrifying, because it was the first time doing everything. The first experiences of media exposure were almost paralysing. I spent a lot of time crying on the floor of the studio - it sent me a bit mad Picture Quote #1

You know, people always ask, ‘What are you like offstage?’ And I always say, ‘Well, I’m completely normal and mellow.’ Picture Quote #1

Where’s my heart at? Aw. Um, in my chest. I think it’s in there - on the right hand side. Sometimes it’s in my mouth and sometimes I can feel it in my stomach, when I get really nervous. So it’s pretty physical Picture Quote #1

My siblings and I were friends with the boys who would become our stepbrothers - we grew up on the same street. I feel very special to have these amazing people in my life and if we hadn’t all moved into this big house together I think I would have missed out on that, because we would have drifted apart Picture Quote #1

I can’t wait to get on stage, because there you don’t worry about whether you’ll ever get married because your life is insane, or whether you’ll ever have another boyfriend again, you don’t worry about the typical boundaries of how your life has to be Picture Quote #1

I’d gone from being this art student messing about with music to this girl with a record deal, magazine front covers and all this hype. In many ways, it was everything I ever wanted, but when it happened all I felt was total, paralysing fear Picture Quote #1

There’s such an extreme feeling to be in love, especially in quite an emotionally destructive relationship, where you’re both kind of really bad for each other, but you love each other so much. Those extreme emotions, I think, can only be described with extreme imagery Picture Quote #1

Being heartbroken is like having this really horrible freedom. You can be selfish with your thoughts, which can lead to manic creativity, but at the same time you’re just really miserable Picture Quote #1

The stage is a place where I can be wholly myself. Even though you’re in front of people almost to be judged, it is a place without judgement Picture Quote #1

It would be too frightening for me to consider myself a role model. But I like the idea of not being afraid of letting your imagination rule you, to feel the freedom of expression, to let creativity be your overwhelming drive rather than other things Picture Quote #1

You can forget anything, and actually being a part of a crowd, of a group, can itself be freeing Picture Quote #1

I’ve got some incredible fans actually - so loyal and they make me birthday cards and Christmas cards. I got this package of poems and artwork based around the songs. They’ve got this thing called ‘Floetry’ where they all have to put in artwork. They’ve set up their own competitions and stuff which is kind of amazing Picture Quote #1

I’ve built my wardrobe color palette around red, so I’m happy with it, but I do get pangs when I see beautiful brunettes. I’ve already been blue, green, black, and blonde Picture Quote #1

I’m just a black hole for stuff. No one should ever hand me anything, because I get so easily distracted. I’ll be like, ‘Oh, look, something shiny!’ I’m glad I never learned how to drive. I would be really dangerous Picture Quote #1

I don’t want your future I don’t need your past One bright moment Is all I ask Picture Quote #1

I always seem to feel that everything is about to cave in on me. I think that maybe music is my protection from that and in some senses it’s an outlet to turn it into something euphoric: embracing the eventual decline Picture Quote #1

Maybe in music you’re making an auditory environment and maybe you change your environment around you to suit your own way Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been attracted to romantic secondhand clothes. But my style developed as I started going to these strange raves where everybody had these very definitive costumes Picture Quote #1

The stage is the place I feel comfortable - it’s almost as if real life is where I feel most nervous. Conversations are a lot more nerve-wracking Picture Quote #1

I’m a light sleeper. I’ve never been one of those people who can put their head down and suddenly everything disappears. Nighttime is the time I get most scared, anxious or worried. In those darker moments before waking or sleeping is when I feel most, I don’t know, I can turn on myself, and my imagination can take me dark places Picture Quote #1

When you’re dressed up as David Bowie, with your eyebrows completely bleached, and you’re doing this kind of strange dance with Paul McCartney while singing Rebel Rebel in the middle of the Met ball, and Madonna’s looking at you . . . I was just thinking, It’s become a bit weird Picture Quote #1

A lot of the songs on the new album are about imaginary things, things that you can’t touch - ghosts and rumors, my dead grandmother, things visiting you in a dream Picture Quote #1

I try to write lyrics so that they won’t age, which sort of leaves you with the big subjects like death and love and sex and violence Picture Quote #1

I’d experimented with so many different types of music. I had these folky songs I’d written and recorded, but something wasn’t quite right Picture Quote #1

I think I just have a problem generally in life of wanting more of everything - more emotion, more drama, more glitz Picture Quote #1
