I think that U.K. audiences, in general, are very closed off. Very judgmental.
Quote by -Charli XCX
On my first album, I felt like, if it was going to be turned into a movie, it would have been directed by Sofia Coppola. She creates this kind of pastel-colored palette that's very whimsical but also very stagnant. And that's really how I heard the record.
Quote by -Charli XCX
I still maintain the fact that when I write songs, I don't know what I'm doing. I don't think about it pragmatically. I say what's in my brain, and sometimes it's great, and sometimes it's terrible.
Quote by -Charli XCX
My dream collaboration would be with someone like Bjork, Kate Bush, or even Dionne Warwick.
Quote by -Charli XCX
When I got signed, I had just turned 16. I felt like I had to continuously have these confrontations with older men who were doubting my ideas because I was a woman, because I was 16.
Quote by -Charli XCX
When I was younger, I was a rave kid trapped inside a singer/songwriter's body. But I kind of figured my way out because I started making these really terrible beats on this Yamaha keyboard that my parents got me for my 10th birthday.
Quote by -Charli XCX
Making my first record, I was really inspired by all the color palettes Sofia Coppola has in her films.
Quote by -Charli XCX
I'm not good at being a picture-perfect pop star, happy all the time. If I'm having a bad day, I can't pretend. I'm always a bit unhappy, but that's just me. I like dwelling in my sadness.
Quote by -Charli XCX
I've never conformed to what my record label has said and, yes, that has meant that it's been a long journey for me.
Quote by -Charli XCX
I think the best people are the ones who are just as nice and fun. This is really cheesy, but you only have one life - why spend most of it pretending to be cool?
Quote by -Charli XCX
I actually think it doesn't even matter what age you are or what sex - though that does play into it sometimes - you always have to fight in any kind of creative world because nobody knows your own brain and your own creative ideas better than you do.
Quote by -Charli XCX
A sold-out crowd is better than a number one. But being in the studio is better than all of that.
Quote by -Charli XCX
Just because I might be bored doesn't mean I have to look boring. I'd rather look fabulous, like I'm having a great time.
Quote by -Charli XCX
I think what women think is sexy is what is sexy. Girls eating pizza are massively sexy.
Quote by -Charli XCX
Some people think of feminine as just being pretty and quiet and sweet, but I also think being feminine is being angry and also being sexy and aggressive and passionate.
Quote by -Charli XCX
I always think about fashion when it comes to making music and music videos... what the colours will look like, what the material will be, how will it work with the sound of the music.
Quote by -Charli XCX
I definitely went through a phase where I wanted to be a fashion designer when I was younger... But I certainly wasn't very good at it.
Quote by -Charli XCX
I've actually done a cover of 'Train in Vain' by The Clash with Viv Albertine - which was originally written about her.
Quote by -Charli XCX
My hair is naturally super curly. But I really don't do so much to it. I just sleep on it and see what happens.
Quote by -Charli XCX
Females should stand by each other, especially in an industry which seems to try so hard to pin us up against each other and make us fight. It's not about that for me. I refuse to be sucked into a twisted world of insecurity and lose who I am.
Quote by -Charli XCX
I really just want to change the way women think about themselves. A lot of young girls are quite lost.
Quote by -Charli XCX
I've heard people say to me, 'How can you claim to be a feminist when you dress like that?' I wear a lot of slip dresses and nightwear and stuff. People always question my credibility because of that: 'Oh, are you selling sex? Are you doing this or that to be recognized more or to sell your music?' No, it's just a fashion thing for me.
Quote by -Charli XCX
One time, I gave Chris Martin a My Little Pony for good luck. He said, 'Oh, you should keep it,' but I was like, 'You guys probably need it a lot more than I do.' I said that to Coldplay!
Quote by -Charli XCX
I think I'm a girl's girl in the sense that I support women a lot, and I'm definitely all for girl power, but I think I'm quite a tomboy at heart - even though I love my fashion and dressing up, I think my essence is very boyish.
Quote by -Charli XCX
I believe I deserve everything that could maybe happen. And I don't think that's a cocky thing to say because I've worked really hard, and I've never bitten the hand that fed me, and I've always been really respectful.
Quote by -Charli XCX
I made video art for quite a long time, and I made this video covering myself in burgers and dancing to Major Lazer and doing covers of Britney Spears songs... I can't remember how I got there, but my teacher said he'd have to fail me because it had mild nudity.
Quote by -Charli XCX
I was in the playground, like, 'Let's imitate the Spice Girls and form a girl group!' I would go home and sing into my hairbrush and act like Britney Spears. I was no Mozart.
Quote by -Charli XCX
If you're in control of everything, then no matter what it is, you can make that feminine.
Quote by -Charli XCX
The second someone tries to put me in a box, I will do everything to rebel against that.
Quote by -Charli XCX
Most of my youth I spent being obsessed with Baby Spice, so she was my favorite for a really long time. Now that I'm older, I actually really like Posh Spice the best. Nineties Victoria Beckham is perfection, I think.
Quote by -Charli XCX
I used to try to bully my friends into imitating the Spice Girls on the playground.
Quote by -Charli XCX
I do appreciate the '80s as an era, the general sounds and aesthetics of the era. The Cure, that whole kind of image is really kind of amazing, I think. The power ballads and how everything sparkles and words are really dramatic. Huge drums, things like that. I do really find it inspiring.
