Laurie Anderson
If there are bases on the moon, that would be the end of the moon as we know it.
Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson
I'm actually not someone who believes in heaven or anything like that.
Laurie Anderson
My secret dream is to write an epic poem. That's probably the most pretentious thing I've said.
Laurie Anderson
You know, for every dollar a man makes a woman makes 63 cents. Now, fifty years ago that was 62 cents. So, with that kind of luck, it’ll be the year 3,888 before we make a buck.
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
Don't be afraid of anyone. Imagine your life if you're not afraid of anyone.
Laurie Anderson
