Antiques Quote by Florence Welch
“My room is like an antique shop, full of junk, and weird stuff. There's a big sword in there. And a taxidermy bird, and a couple of birdcages. And a lot of newspaper cuttings. I used to have a weird thing about cutting out morbid headlines from newspapers, and collecting them. I was fascinated with drowning, which is kind of strange.”

![“It was when Boston invited us to do a parade one November, and I was the only [Star Wars] cast member skeptical of the willingness of people to come out to see us five actors drive by in antique cars in the Boston rain. Well, it was the first time I really understood the show's popularity.” quote by John Ratzenberger](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/098/john-ratzenberger-11869_actors_it-was-when-boston-invited-us-to-do-a-pa_67396.jpg)
