More quotes by Debbie Harry
Lately I've been believing that music predates speech.
Debbie Harry
I really am a mystic. I don't know where I got it from.
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
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
I don't mind if my skull ends up on a shelf as long as it's got my name on it.
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
That undercurrent of the forbidden was always a part of rock.
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
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
How can one be a woman and not be a feminist? That's my question.
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
I do know the effect that music still has on me - I'm completely vulnerable to it. I'm seduced by it.
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 always think of a voice as an instrument, whether a voice is a trumpet, or violin, or bass. You know what I mean? A horn or wind instrument versus a string instrument. Horn instruments are definitely more toward jazz.
Debbie Harry
In music the mystical element is definitely there all the time, and one can see it.
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
For me, performance is about forgetting what I'm wearing. Just putting it on and knowing it's right.
Debbie Harry
And I wasn't convinced that I was the most talented person in the world.
Debbie Harry
Music is wonderful. Especially if there's some kind of content to it.
Debbie Harry
I don't think that the punk sound really became the punk sound until much later. The punk era wasn't really just one musical sound. There are a lot of differences among Television, the Ramones, and the Talking Heads.
