More quotes by Laura Marling

Image
I'm a lot more observational than personal in my writing. My writing is mostly a lot of questions without answers.
Laura Marling
Image
I need some isolation, it's necessary to me, that's just who I am. I need to be left alone.
Laura Marling
Image
I like living in the city, but I like being able to get out of it as and when I like.
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.

I'd prefer to be good, but I'm not always. I struggle.
Laura Marling
Image
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.

I feel like I'm creeping closer to finding the situation that triggers songwriting, which is obviously an extreme of an emotion.

There's a house across the river, but alas, I cannot swim I'll live my life regretting that I never jumped in

Living in L.A., I was completely lost - and I enjoyed it.
Laura Marling
Image
I've always loved books by the Bronte sisters. I love Jane Austen, too. I'm more influenced by people like her than by pop culture.
Laura Marling
Image
I definitely tell things at arm's length but that is conscious. No part of me wants everybody to know what's going on.
Laura Marling
Image
I thought ‘I wonder what will happen if I try and root myself somewhere?‘ Look back over the past eight years.
Laura Marling
Image
But if i sit here and weep I'll be blown over by the slightest of breeze
Laura Marling
Image
It’s hard to accept yourself as someone you don’t desire / As someone you don’t want to be.
Laura Marling
Image
Age is relative. Experience is relative. And I think often intensity is confused with maturity.
Laura Marling
Image
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

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

I find it dull when my heart meets my mind
Laura Marling
Image
I feel increasingly like age is very irrelevant. Quite often, cynicism is confused with wisdom, and my scorn is confused with a knowing, which I don't have.
Laura Marling
Image
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.
