More quotes by Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson
I think women are excellent social critics.
Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson
I'm one of the first Americans who wasn't a torturer or an interrogator.
Laurie Anderson
I think illusion is one of the most interesting things that I've found to think about. Just look at yesterday, and what you were doing, and how important it was, and how nonexistent it is now! How dreamlike it is! Same thing with tomorrow. So where are we living?
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
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
My secret dream is to write an epic poem. That's probably the most pretentious thing I've said.
Laurie Anderson
I am a New Yorker, one I'm an artist, two I'm a woman, three.
Laurie Anderson
I'm a real workaholic.
Laurie Anderson
Paradise Is exactly like Where you are right now Only much much Better.
Laurie Anderson
I'm actually not someone who believes in heaven or anything like that.
Laurie Anderson
