Laurie Anderson
So many things have happened to me in my life that I could be phobic about.
Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson
Don't be afraid of anyone. Imagine your life if you're not afraid of anyone.
Laurie Anderson
A lot of words in English confuse the idea of life and electricity, like the word livewire.
Laurie Anderson
My job is to make images and leave the decision-making and conclusion-draw ing to other people.
