More quotes by Laurie Anderson
Audiences, whether they're seeing a film or a reading or whatever it is, a concert, they decide very quickly what kind of show it is, and then they judge it. They judge the rest of the thing by whether it conforms to their rules for what a good symphony orchestra would be.
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
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
My job is to make images and leave the decision-making and conclusion-draw ing to other people.
Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson
If I'm confused, I just spend some time looking at the sky and falling into it. It's not a meditation that anyone taught me, it's something I've done my whole life, and liked doing, and it made me feel like nothing.
Laurie Anderson
If there are bases on the moon, that would be the end of the moon as we know it.
Laurie Anderson
The world is a strange and wonderful place.
Laurie Anderson
I'm a real workaholic.
Laurie Anderson
People are really suffering these days. There's a lot of corporate triumph and a lot of personal despair as they wonder what are they working for.
Laurie Anderson
I really like books that you can kind of hear as much as think about, that are so graphic and visual.
Laurie Anderson
I'm one of the first Americans who wasn't a torturer or an interrogator.
Laurie Anderson
I realized why movie scores are mostly strings, because it really frees your eyes to look around.
Laurie Anderson
It's the tradition of American writers getting away in order to see the country - to get a better view.
Laurie Anderson
There are plenty of ways you can play the game of fighting and really seem to be fighting without going for the jugular.
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
A lot of words in English confuse the idea of life and electricity, like the word livewire.
Laurie Anderson
