If someone says to me that ‘Horizon’ is an anti-feminist anthem, I have to tell them, ‘No, that’s not right.’ But I’m not interested in unpicking my music for people. Everybody has different reference points. Aldous Harding Read Quote
I don’t need to hide behind anything because I’m more comfortable with myself. Aldous Harding Read Quote
I’m definitely not above wanting to be liked. Because, I mean, that feels less… lonely? But to be honest, because it was never my dream, I live quite a pressure-less existence, y’know. And of course, that’s not true, but it’s partly true. Aldous Harding Read Quote
As a kid I remember being frightened all of the time, and kind of sad. I was certainly troubled. But a lot of people were, y’know? I don’t really know how to measure my trouble against somebody else’s. Aldous Harding Read Quote
It’s funny. I change depending on what I’m around, and who I’m around. I’ve always been like that. Aldous Harding Read Quote
I’m just focused on getting to the end of each show and feeling like we’ve done a good job when we walk off stage. And a perfect show isn’t necessarily about making the audience feel good. I know I’ve done my job well if I’ve made people feel… interesting. I like to leave them a little stunned. Aldous Harding Read Quote
I like reading things where someone’s looked at what I do with some honesty, and maybe been challenged by it, and they have something to say that shows they’ve thought about it, even if they don’t necessarily like it. Aldous Harding Read Quote
I made a commitment to myself that I’d stick at this and not let weakness in too quickly, that I’d do the best shows I could and make the best songs I can make. Aldous Harding Read Quote
It’s been a very strong force for me over the years. I don’t know exactly why. For some people, fear can be a very useful thing. They can use it to recognise there’s something missing, and heal themselves. But fear can also destroy some people. I think I’m the first type of person. I’m pretty anxious, always thinking ‘what if?’ about the bad stuff. Aldous Harding Read Quote
