I love Lady Gaga and I love Katy Perry and R&B and rap music… I love big, American pop music. Florence Welch Read Quote
When making the first album, I think I wrote a song about every six months. The first album was so much about the vocals carrying it. Florence Welch Read Quote

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. Florence Welch Read Quote

When I am with my family, then I can just sort of switch off. It’s kind of weird, because I go back and I go into this bedroom that I have had since I was a teenager. It is like this parallel universe, because one minute I am on the red carpet and then the next I am hiding out in this room I have had since I was 15. Florence Welch Read Quote
