Excitable, easily distracted, sometimes vacant, prone to gloominess and also extreme euphoria; I canโt be generous with time, but I try to be generous with affection. Iโm really lucky to be able to be in some of these situations and it feels really nice to be able to take people along with me for the ride. Oh, and Iโm a pain in the ass as well.
Florence WelchI'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.
Florence WelchI 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.
Florence WelchI am obsessed with the whole Victoriana thing, the whole Jack the Ripper London era, the grayness of it, the haunted feeling of it, all ancient and bloody.
Florence WelchMusic to me is so internal. It's physical and it's emotional. Whereas fashion is so much about the external that it's almost like a break. It's not inner turmoil. It's total escapism.
Florence WelchI want my music to sound like throwing yourself out of a tree, or off a tall building, or as if youโre being sucked down into the ocean and you canโt breatheโฆ Itโs something overwhelming and all-encompassing that fills you up, and youโre either going to explode with it, or youโre just going to disappear.
