More quotes by Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson
I've been trying to avoid goal-oriented behavior.
Laurie Anderson
If I'm confused, I just spend some time looking at the sky and falling into it. It's not a meditation that anyone taught me, it's something I've done my whole life, and liked doing, and it made me feel like nothing.
Laurie Anderson
Freedon is a scary thing. Most people don't want it.
Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson
I really trust audiences as having excellent taste, for the most part.
Laurie Anderson
When I was four, I was a kind of sky worshipper. I would look at the sky, and I wanted to evaporate into the sky - I loved the sky. I loved looking at the trees, just because they touched the sky.
Laurie Anderson
Why do you have to translate and decode things? Just let the image be. It will have a special kind of reality that it won't once it's decoded.
Laurie Anderson
A lot of words in English confuse the idea of life and electricity, like the word livewire.
Laurie Anderson
I think artists who are attracted to working on the Net will adjust their work to the capabilities of a very small screen.
Laurie Anderson
I'm a real workaholic.
Laurie Anderson
People who were born alone are defined by feelings like Who's gonna be with me when I die? Who will ever understand me? Will I always feel so alone? Maybe if I write a book... and you forget that that doesn't help you so much.
Laurie Anderson
Last night, I had that dream again. I dreamt I had to take a test, in a Dairy Queen, on another planet.
Laurie Anderson
The right to carry a gun has nothing to do with the rights of other people.
Laurie Anderson
If there are bases on the moon, that would be the end of the moon as we know it.
Laurie Anderson
