i've seen my fair share of florence interviews and i've noticed how she gets flustered and almost angry when the interviewer praises her too much, like when this guy mentioned that she won a lot of awards... it's because she's so humble. love her
I read in an articles about the dyspraxia. My brother also has dyspaxia and I can see it is quite a strain on him. I'm amazed at Florence's success, despite all of these conditions. ^^
She looks like a grownup Pebbles Flintstone with her hair like that. She seemed to be genuinely shaken up when Alexander McQueen was brought up, though.
by the end of the interview she looked like she was about to cry... i think he really fucked with her mind with the alexander mcqueen thing... not cool
can someone explain me what was all that Alexander McQueen matter about? English is not my mother tongue and their accent makes it barely audible. Unfortunately, i couldn't find anything on google, so I thought you guys might help me out.
@theskyisround I recommend to everyone Tennyson's poem "The Lady of Shalott." Many believe it characterizes the tragedy of the "artist's dilemma." The "artist's dilemma" arises when people feel compelled to create art about the world but can only do so by viewing it at a distance, removed from it. They are consistently caught between the desire to make this art or actually live in the world and experience it. Neither way leaves them completely satisfied. I so see Florence suffering from this.
Florence has dyslexia and dysmetria and has self-diagnosed herself with ADD, OCD and insomnia. She's probably pretty neurotic (most geniuses are) and social excursions like this one probably aren't her forte. Some artists (*cough* Lady Gaga *cough*) are all about the public eye, but Florence seems to be the kind of person who's interested mainly in doing music.
The worst part is feeling "not good enough," something anyone with any kind of disorder (no matter how mild) experiences. Hell, for years I didn't know the name for why I can't walk a simple straight line, or hold a glass unless it's in a ham-fisted death grip. Now I'm rather blase about my condition... although it's frickin' embarrassing when I pull a motorcycle on top of me (AFTER I'd ridden it to Point B without incident, no less)! :-D
According to sources that are MUCH more reliable than Wikipedia, Florence is dyslexic, dysmetric and dyspraxic, which come together to explain a lot of her shyness and physical awkwardness. As a fellow dyslexic-dyspraxic, I'm happy to see her in the spotlight. condition be damned. However, if this is the elephant in her living room, not acknowledging it could be a potential issue in the future. I do understand, though, the embarrassment of the brain constantly mixing the wrong signals.
being interviewer is gotta be the most shitty job in the entertainment industry as far as asking stupid questions, especially nerve wrecking 1s like "how did it make u feel when u won the nomination?," etc... artists don't enjoy being put on the spot, they probably just want to avoid the interviewer entirely & get on with their lives, but i guess certain entertainment demands some kinda public presence when ur big like that. i feel sorry for many artists who have to submit to such demands.

the ending broke my heart
6:13 Florence is thinking "how many people are going to ask me this?? You just upset me and I dont really want to have this interview..."
You would never know about the second condition you mentioned; she always looks so graceful when she performs. I love Flo. :) (I also like Gaga)
1:42 you don't simply mess with Camberwell

LOL i love the begining, her face like "its recording now?" anyway she so cool
She is crazy in my favourite way.
british people are so cool. it's not fair.
I'm so happy that I finally got her hair color! She makes me love it more!
It seems like the interview wasn't ready at that moment, right?
I love that she uses the word 'ilk' XD No one uses ilk anymore.
1:23 Excellent laugh. :D

Does ANYONE know what kinda hair dye she uses? I first thought it might be henna but henna isn't that red actually? And she has such healthy hair.
She's only wearring one earring..and that's awesome

I've used Feria #68 Power Red. Doesn't last terribly long, though...

@dralockhart I love them both but you clearly dont know Gaga
@darrenburn hey I'm not the only one! maybe it was just a bad day for Florence or maybe I'm jealous of you cause you got to talk to her haha ;)
Doesn't she also have slight dyspraxia?

You were a bit quiet, but not what I'd call too douchey.
