More quotes by 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 could be a housewife… I guess I’ve vacuumed a couple of times.
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
But as a writer and performer, I want to get paid for what I do.
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
I really am a mystic. I don't know where I got it from.
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
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 thought I'd live to a ripe old age, because I always felt there was a lot to do. I had a driven feeling. I always thought in the present.
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
You always fall for the rascal or the guy who's got a little bit of the devil in him. You can't help it.
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 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.
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
Lately I've been believing that music predates speech.
Debbie Harry
Rock and roll is a misconception. It should no longer be a term for music.
Debbie Harry
And I wasn't convinced that I was the most talented person in the world.
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
And New Year's Eve is very, very important to me.
Debbie Harry
