I curate my life in a way. It's always playing on my mind, kind of a love-hate relationship. I'm not one of those people who's, like, 'I wish Facebook wasn't around,' because, you know, it is what it is. -- Lorde
My name is Ella; that's who I am at school, hanging out with friends, while I'm doing homework. But when I'm up on stage, 'Lorde' is a character. -- Lorde

Does anything really matter? We all end up in the same place. All that's left is our Wikipedia entry. -- Lorde
We all have Tumblr, and we all have Instagram and everything. People care so much about it because, now, any random can be famous on the Internet if their world looks good on Tumblr. And so everyone at high school strives for this kind of aesthetic correctness. -- Lorde
My advice to young people wanting to make music and to be in this industry is to really spend your time making music. Make so much music you have no friends. Make music. Figure out what it is you love, and ... because if you're making cool art, then everything else will fall into line. -- Lorde
Glory and gore go hand in hand. -- Lorde
With pop music and pop musicians, you know everything about everyone all the time, particularly their physical appearance. With female musicians, that's made a big thing of, and I think people, certainly with me, have appreciated a bit of mystery. -- Lorde
What I do is so important to me. It's like being a parent, in some ways, of a super-demanding , high-achieving child, with a cry that sounds really cool on the radio. -- Lorde
My dad is a civil engineer, and my mom is a stay-at-home mom. The fact that my parents weren't really involved in music was kind of good, because it meant that I had something that was private and personal. -- Lorde
We've both got a million bad habits to kick, not sleeping is one.
We're biting our nails, you're biting my lip, I'm biting my tongue. -- Lorde

And nothing's wrong when nothing's true
But I live in a hologram with you. -- Lorde

If I'm going to dress up, I like things that are quite long and classic. I like feeling dressed up and like a lady. -- Lorde

Chance is the only game I play with, baby
We let our battles choose us. -- Lorde

Nobody asks me about what male musicians I think about; I only ever get asked about females. -- Lorde
I've always been fascinated with aristocracy. I'm really interested in the Ivy Leagues, the final clubs, all the really old-money families, the concept of old money. -- Lorde
I'm speaking for a bunch of girls when I say that the idea that feminism is completely natural and shouldn't even be something that people find mildly surprising, it's just a part of being a girl in 2013. -- Lorde
I'd refer to myself as a feminist. I don't think my music is overtly rooted in feminism. I'm a teenager, and 95 percent of my friends are boys, and that's just the way I've always been. -- Lorde
Taylor Swift is so flawless, and so unattainable, and I don't think it's breeding anything good in young girls. -- Lorde

Musicians like James Blake were a big influence on me. How he uses his vocals is amazing. And then Yeasayer and Animal Collective, who aren't pop bands exactly, but they do something that is so catchy and undeniable and so much fun. -- Lorde
I'm really interested in kind of weird social situations and cliques, watching girls vying for attention, watching how the popularity thing happens. I've always thought too hard about everything. -- Lorde
Don't you think that is boring how people talk -- Lorde
I'm a pop princess at heart. Pop is about distilling what you want to say and making it easy. And the way I write isn't about making things easy. It's a weird juxtaposition. -- Lorde

David Bowie told me my music sounds like tomorrow -- Lorde

I find this curious - two photos from today, one edited so my skin is perfect and one real. remember flaws are ok. -- Lorde

When I was trying to come up with a stage name, I thought 'Lord' was super rad, but really masculine - ever since I was a little kid, I have been really into royals and aristocracy. So to make Lord more feminine, I just put an 'e' on the end! Some people think it's religious, but it's not. -- Lorde
Obviously I've had this fascination with aristocracy my whole life. Like, the kings and queens of 500 years ago ... they're like rock stars. If there was a 'TMZ' 500 years ago, it would be about, like, Henry VIII and Marie Antoinette and all those people. -- Lorde
I am really into how words sound out loud, so I was always the kid who would, like, read the page of the book to herself in her room over and over and over. And Raymond Carver is great for that. Tobias Wolff is an author who is really good for that as well. -- Lorde
That slow burn wait while it gets dark, bruising the sun.
I feel grown up with you in your car, I know it's dumb. -- Lorde
I'm usually really drawn to a song, and I know it would be good to cover if it sounds like something that I could write, or I wished I could write. Sometimes a writer just sounds like they're in your head, and that is really cool for me. -- Lorde
I'll let you in on something big: I'm not a white-teeth teen. -- Lorde

Don't be afraid. Be the kind of person your mother warned you about. -- Lorde

And laughing 'til our ribs get tough
But that will never be enough -- Lorde
Let me be your ruler, you can call me queen bee. -- Lorde
People have told me that Ive helped them feel confident, like they can say things they want to say. They can talk about feminism in class without people calling them a lesbian. Thats so amazing that I can make someone feel like that. -- Lorde
Raise a glass, 'cause I'm not done saying it.
They all wanna get rough, get away with it.
Let 'em talk 'cause we're dancing in this world alone, world alone, we're all alone. -- Lorde
Grace Jones was an influence, because I was like, 'These shoulders! These pants! Girls can wear pants and be awesome.' That's something I definitely embody. -- Lorde
I started writing music when I was around twelve. My current record company saw a video of me performing at my school's talent show. -- Lorde
I try to stay away from talking about boys all the time. You can go to Taylor Swift to hear that. -- Lorde
I'm very conscious of people having pretty short attention spans: I know, I'm guilty of it. I'm 17 now: what happens by the time I'm 21, am I a burn-out or something? Will they still listen to my record? -- Lorde
In a perfect world, I would never do any interviews, and probably there would be one photo out there of me, and that would be it. -- Lorde
It must have been when I was 14 or 15 that I started tentatively writing songs and was able to convey an emotion and a lyric with what I wanted to say. -- Lorde

it feels so scary getting old. -- Lorde
I'm kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the air,
So there. -- Lorde
We aren't caught up in your love affair -- Lorde
I went to my prom. I wore this olive green, floor-length backless dress. It was rad. -- Lorde
I think young people are the most creative and the coolest - people that we should be learning from. Even when I'm at a party, I'm analyzing it and thinking about it in the context of how I would write about it. That side of me never switches off. -- Lorde
Of course I got lipstick all over my lil' nose in about 5 seconds, nothing's changed. -- Lorde
Maybe the internet raised us, or maybe people are jerks. -- Lorde
I know when I'm onstage, I don't think about how it looks, I just concentrate on really feeling what I hear. But I totally know I look like Gollum when I perform, so it's cool. -- Lorde

We gladiate, but I guess we're really fighting ourselves. -- Lorde
I don't think people look at how pop stars live and feel anything aspirational at all. -- Lorde

As soon as you say it about a record, you're like some little zombie in a funny dungeon. -- Lorde
Around the middle of last year I started listening to a lot of rap, like Nicki Minaj and Drake. They all sing about such opulence, stuff that just didn't relate to me-or anyone that I knew. I began thinking, 'How are we listening to this? It's completely irrelevant'. -- Lorde
Like wildflowers you must allow yourself to grow in all the places people thought you never would. -- Lorde
I find a lot of feminist reading quite confusing and that often there's a set of rules, and people will be like, 'Oh, this person isn't a true feminist because they don't embody this one thing,' and I don't know, often it can be a gray area, and it can be a hard thing to navigate. -- Lorde
I read a lot of short fiction, like Kurt Vonnegut and Raymond Carver and Wells Tower. -- Lorde
