Florence Welch On How Her Powers Disappear Once Offstage
Director Baz Luhrmann caught up with Florence Welch for Interview magazine, where she talked about adjusting to normality once off the stage. “You know, people always ask, ‘What are you like offstage?’ And I always say, ‘Well, I’m completely normal and mellow.’ And then things like that happen and maybe I’m operating in a higher emotional state - and not like even in a helpful way,” the Florence and the Machine singer explained. “On stage, you can use your emotions. It’s the place where you can channel them. They have a purpose. But then offstage they just hit you… All that power that you can use on stage disappears when you’ve lost your phone and you’re in the middle of the street in New York City.” Check out the entire interview and photo spread at interviewmagazine.com.
