More quotes by Laurie Anderson
Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories.
Laurie Anderson
If you're a young artist, wondering what to call yourself, consider 'multimedia artist.' It's so vague. Then, no one can say, 'Hey, how come you're a jazz person, and you're making a pop opera?
Laurie Anderson
The fewer expectations you have, the better.
Laurie Anderson

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

Laurie Anderson
A lot of words in English confuse the idea of life and electricity, like the word livewire.
Laurie Anderson
We want to dedicate our music tonight to the great opportunity that we all have to begin to truly understand the events of the past few days and to act upon them with courage and with compassion as we make our plans to live in a completely new world.
Laurie Anderson
I really trust audiences as having excellent taste, for the most part.
Laurie Anderson
And there was a beutiful view But nobody could see Cause everybody on the island Was saying Look at me! Look at me.
Laurie Anderson
You can do great things with low-tech stuff.
Laurie Anderson
I'm a real workaholic.
Laurie Anderson
I've been trying to avoid goal-oriented behavior.
Laurie Anderson
Literature is the safe and traditional vehicle through which we learn about the world and pass on values from on generation to the next. Books save lives.
Laurie Anderson
The only stuff I don't like are Broadway musicals. I hate them. I don't even like to talk about it. I can't bear musicals.
Laurie Anderson
Life goes by so fast. It's really - and a lot of times things happen so fast you don't know - how should I react.
Laurie Anderson
I so much appreciate it when anybody tries to make something and tries to be an artist - I'm happy to see the work.
Laurie Anderson
I am a New Yorker, one I'm an artist, two I'm a woman, three.
