Florence Welch: I don’t want to get any more famous than this

A very nice interview with Florence Welch in the Rolling Stone:

"The closest relationship I’ve had for my whole life is with my music. Also, I guess, I thought it was funny" (about her new tattoo 'Always Lonely')

"I did sit down and talk it through with my mom. But it’s funny: With English people, you have the talk and then everyone just carries on, just like, 'OK, that’s dealt with. We put that in the drawer and we go on'" (about English people)

"I have a healthy relationship with my body now more than I ever did before, but it took me a long time" (about her eating disorder)

“I just don’t want to get any more famous than this"

"Being an extreme drinker was a huge part of my identity. Music and alcohol are sort of my first two loves. When I stopped, there was this sense that I was letting some ghost of rock history down that I just couldn’t cope anymore" (about her drinking disorder)

"Vintage clothes, books and I drink so much coffee" (about her biggest indulgence now).
