LORDELike wildflowers you must allow yourself to grow in all the places people thought you never would.
LORDEWhat 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.
LORDEI’m terrified of growing up. Once you become an adult, how to you step back from that? It’s something that wakes me up at night.

I know exactly what’s right for my career and for my art, and sometimes, even if the whole room is saying, ‘Don’t do that, don’t do that,’ you know that doing that is going to be good for you, in the long run.
