"I want my music to sound like throwing yourself out of a tree, or off a tall building, or as if you’re being sucked down into the ocean and you can’t breathe… It’s something overwhelming and all-encompassing that fills you up, and you’re either going to explode with it, or you’re just going to disappear."

"Excitable, easily distracted, sometimes vacant, prone to gloominess and also extreme euphoria; I can’t be generous with time, but I try to be generous with affection. I’m 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 I’m a pain in the ass as well."

- Florence Welch describing herself

"Then there was Limp Bizkit - I remember Fred Durst bring like “grab a lady, everyone grab a lady” and me being 14 and really uncomfortable” “thinking maybe someone will pick me up! But no-one did. No-one wants a chubby 14-year-old in a roller derby t-shirt and ripped fairy wings!"
