“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.”

“My dad always used to encourage me to dress weird.”
Charli XCX“I always see my songs in colors, and I'm often more inspired by movies and photographs than I am by other songs when I write my music. I'm also inspired by fashion, and I want my music to be a visual painting of what's in my mind.”

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.”
Charli XCX“I'm inspired by artists like Robyn, just because she writes amazing pop songs, and they're not throwaway. When I listen to a Robyn pop song, I don't feel like she's just kind of saying something and not thinking; I feel like it's really emotional.”
Charli XCX“If there's intelligence behind an opinion, then I'm all for expressing it, but I would never just start a fight with someone for the sake of it - that's just not me.”
Charli XCX“I used to worry about being cool. Now I realize that I genuinely don't care.”
Charli XCX“I never set out to be a cult cool artist. I always made music that I thought was pop.”
Charli XCX“I was never the cool kid in school, and loads of people told me that I was weird, that I dressed uncool and did uncool things, that I was too nice, too happy.”
Charli XCX“I think it's cool to be a rock star I don't think there are many. There aren't many who speak out and take risks. And I think that's important. ”
