Id gone from being this art student messing about with music to this girl with a record deal, magazine front covers and all this hype. In many ways, it was everything I ever wanted, but when it happened all I felt was total, paralysing fear. – Florence Welch
Im completely in love with the world but also terrified of it. It creates some overwhelming feelings. Wanting to battle out that joy and fear is part of my music. – Florence Welch
Theres such an extreme feeling to be in love, especially in quite an emotionally destructive relationship, where youre both kind of really bad for each other, but you love each other so much. Those extreme emotions, I think, can only be described with extreme imagery. – Florence Welch
Ive got quite a vivid imagination and Im easily overwhelmed by sensations and things that are beautiful or scary. I dont think Ive ever seen a ghost – I think Im probably haunted by my own ghosts than real ones. – Florence Welch
