Laurie Anderson
It's just such a great miracle when things do work, and they work for such a wild variety of crazy reasons.

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
What happens when you're in a crash is you join a crash club, and you talk endlessly about your crash because you don't want to bore your friends with it. And they've heard about the crash so many times.
Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson
