When I was 12, maybe 13, umm, I went to music store with my dad. And the first CD that I saw was Led Zeppelin. In these years I listened to them very often.So, umm, I begged him to buy me this album. And I think it went easier for me because my dad also liked this band. And when I came back to house I just started dancing in my room like a freak to all of songs.

I like weird people. Like, you know dancing on the street, in the supermarket.I’m weird, cause who normal writes song about coffins? I’m a weird person and I’m OK with it. Being normal it boring.

I prefer sarcasm and irreverence. Wearing my heart on my sleeve - very frightening.

Living is dealing with the everyday and the notion that you’re going to die.

I’ve always had quite a disruptive sleep. I’m a very light sleeper. And I’ve got a super active imagination which isn’t very helpful.. A treacherous brain, I’d say. You know, I try to go lie down to sleep and it’s like ‘Oh hey! Did you remember to do this?’ ‘Did you remember when you said that awful thing to someone when you were five? Let’s think about that!’ or like, old arguments, or you know, I’ll just rehash loads of old situations just to get myself into tears. And then I start thinking there’s a ghost in the room and there’s no sleep at all.

Everything that I do is about reaching that sense of like euphoric rush and in all the music it’s about hitting that moment where you think nothing matters and you could never be so happy in your entire life, or you could never be so sad. It’s all about extremes of emotions and it’s about getting yourself ready to go through there… I think.

“I wasn’t one of those girls who was really pretty. I was never pretty. Plus I knew I didn’t want to be like everyone else. I wanted to find something that was better, more exciting…. So, at 11, I formed covens and tried to be witch.” - Florence Welch
- Interviewer: Your first snog. When was it and who was it with?
- Florence: Oh, I don’t want to tell the story!
- Interviewer: Oh come on!
- Florence: Um, it was on my trampoline…I was 11. And it was like, uh, with my friend’s brother’s friend. And they were just going, “Awe yeah! You guys should snog, you guys should snog.” and I didn’t know kinda what it entailed. And I was like, “Oh yeah, okay I’ll do it.” I stood up, and it was so horrible. It was like a washing machine…. I sent everyone away and then watched Sister, Sister on Nickelodeon and cried.
Yes…I mean…I think…I fall in love daily in different ways, do you know what I mean? You fall for like, a skyline, or you kind of fall in love with a view. You have to kind of keep that. But love between two people, yeah, sure, I do. I hope I do.
