More quotes by Laura Marling
Women are presented with a very narrow aspect of the female narrative. And now we live in a culture and a time where it gets to us very quickly and very young. So how do you maintain in a child that sense of unique identity before they get thrown all that is projected on them?
Laura Marling
There's huge amounts of nonsense that goes with everything surrounding music and art. All the things you have to do promote yourself - there's huge amounts of nonsense.
Laura Marling
A friend is a friend forever And a good one will never leave, never
Laura Marling
I was an incredibly misanthrope. I couldn't relate to people my age, and I'm not sure why, as I wasn't particularly smart or interesting
Laura Marling
One woman I interviewed, Amanda Ghost, said, Let's not bullshit, there are no women at the top of the music business, and that is a serious problem. And I said, Yes! And I didn't shy away from saying that. But I still don't want to be in the firing line. I'm not clever or witty or brave enough to get into the political nitty-gritty with it
Laura Marling
Take me somewhere I can grow Give me something let me go Tell me something I don't know
Laura Marling
It’s hard to accept yourself as someone you don’t desire / As someone you don’t want to be.

The female psyche is inherently self-sufficient, because female sexuality is inherently self-sufficient. I think women are maybe more comfortable, or women are able to find physical beauty in each other that doesn't terrify them.
Laura Marling
In my experience, the psychological aspect of femininity tends to be more receptive and apathetic and delicate. I think that because the feminine is a bit quieter, we live in a masculine-dominated society. It is the front-forward force that runs the world. And that's not the fault of men by any means, that's just the way the world works.
Laura Marling
I'm incredibly neurotic and a control freak. I like the thought that if there's going to be anyone to blame it's going to be me.
Laura Marling
My reaction to everything in life is when it gets a bit complicated to water it down and make it simple again.
Laura Marling
People don't appreciate music any more. They don't adore it. They don't buy vinyl and just love it. They love their laptops like their best friend, but they don't love a record for its sound quality and its artwork.
Laura Marling
I thought ‘I wonder what will happen if I try and root myself somewhere?‘ Look back over the past eight years.
Laura Marling
I get up, go and get a coffee, and go do the crossword - I'm loyal to one particular paper, the 'Guardian' - and that's my idea of a perfect morning.
Laura Marling
I need some isolation, it's necessary to me, that's just who I am. I need to be left alone.
Laura Marling
I think I'll feel out of place wherever I go on earth, forever. But that's fine. I have to make my peace with that.
Laura Marling
I like living in the city, but I like being able to get out of it as and when I like.
Laura Marling
I'm a lot more observational than personal in my writing. My writing is mostly a lot of questions without answers.
Laura Marling
There's a house across the river, but alas, I cannot swim I'll live my life regretting that I never jumped in
Laura Marling
I definitely tell things at arm's length but that is conscious. No part of me wants everybody to know what's going on.
