More quotes by Debbie Harry
But as a writer and performer, I want to get paid for what I do.
Debbie Harry
For me, performance is about forgetting what I'm wearing. Just putting it on and knowing it's right.
Debbie Harry
And New Year's Eve is very, very important to me.
Debbie Harry
Lately I've been believing that music predates speech.
Debbie Harry
I think that people in general, whether they are male or female, who are inhibited by the clichés of what women are or what men are, really don't like themselves. Because personality traits are not necessarily sexual.
Debbie Harry
But, you know, the issues of humanity and what is fair treatment and good treatment of a fellow human being should not really be based on a personal sense of right and wrong or judgment.
Debbie Harry
It's scary times for humanity, it seems. But as my octogenarian father tells me, The world has seen harder times, and the world will survive. The arc of history is long, and the mess we're currently making is just a blip.
Debbie Harry
I don't really memorize every little thing I have to do because then I start to think about it too much! I like to keep it in the here and now and not what's coming up.
Debbie Harry
Working as a solo artist has given me a confidence that I didn't have with Blondie.
Debbie Harry
If you were a painter and a rock and roll musician and weren't established in either - to be an artist today you have to be as much a businessman to succeed, you have to spend an equal amount of time doing business as you spend doing your craft.
Debbie Harry
We wanted to enjoy what we were doing and we had business things we had to straighten out and personnel problems and it sort of took a little time to do it.
Debbie Harry
Music is wonderful. Especially if there's some kind of content to it.
Debbie Harry
I do have fantasies of buying a helicopter and a lot of machine guns, but I don't know if I can do that. I'd like to have a lot of weapons, grenades and things. And I want to have a solar energy machine. And I want to have a sunken garden with a glass roof. I guess that's about it for now. I have a few other wants but I can't remember them.
Debbie Harry
How can one be a woman and not be a feminist? That's my question.
Debbie Harry
I always work on New Year's Eve, no matter what.
Debbie Harry
I really am a mystic. I don't know where I got it from.
Debbie Harry
I'm against the idea that rock stars have to live a life that's completely understandable or predictable to their audience....Maybe I'll just be the mysterious figure that'll never be able to truly be defined. Maybe that's what my thing is.
Debbie Harry
I have a lot of regrets, but I'm not going to think of them as regrets.
Debbie Harry
I love the ACLU and I'm concerned now, especially when it comes to our rights, with current politics and the religious community and the Conservative majority or minority - I don't know who they are.
Debbie Harry
In music the mystical element is definitely there all the time, and one can see it. When it comes to rock and roll, when it comes to any kind of industry, it's not there. It's not there. So it's a battle between the two. Music, Industry.
Debbie Harry
