Charli XCX: The Music Fashion Film Interview

“I always feel like when you get one of those [inspirations], you kind of have to honor it because you never know how long it might last for or whether you'll ever get one again. So for me, my personal rule is that whenever that happens, I have to just sort of follow it and see where that leads me.”

“If anything is too fun it's sort of deemed as like not important and actually I think joy is a really important element of making music that is sometimes kind of hard to capture.”

“Imperfection can make someone's favorite song just because of the way it sounds... making mistakes is where you actually find something really unique... But I think because of how toxic it can get, people are afraid to get it wrong.”

“When you're creating with limitations, you can create something quite specific and unique... if you're opening up the floodgates to everything it's you know it becomes a bit less potent for me personally in my process.”

“Should we not just do the things that make us happy in the moment? Because really when it all comes down to it at the end it's like you just have your own memories... everything sort of fades to dust really at the end.”
