More quotes by Laurie Anderson
The world is a strange and wonderful place.
Laurie Anderson
You know the reason I love the stars is because we can't hurt them: we can't burn them, we can't melt them , we can't make them overflow, we can't flood them or burn them up—so we keep reacing for them
Laurie Anderson
The right to carry a gun has nothing to do with the rights of other people.
Laurie Anderson
I don't take compliments so well. I always hang my head and shuffle and kind of try to immediately forget.
Laurie Anderson
Not many people care what you do. They care about what you do as much as you care about what they do. Think about it. Just exactly that much. You are not the center of the universe.
Laurie Anderson
When you meet a man who is broken, pick him up and carry him. When you meet a woman who’s broken, put her all into your arms. Cause we don’t know where we come from … we don’t know where we are.
Laurie Anderson
I'm one of the first Americans who wasn't a torturer or an interrogator.
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'm an average enough person to point to the things I've gotten to see that are awe-inspiring.
Laurie Anderson
Freedon is a scary thing. Most people don't want it.
Laurie Anderson
My job is to make images and leave the decision-making and conclusion-draw ing to other people.
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
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
I really like books that you can kind of hear as much as think about, that are so graphic and visual.
Laurie Anderson
The fewer expectations you have, the better.
Laurie Anderson
Writers want to summarize: What does this mean? What did we learn from this? That's a very 19th-century way of thinking about art, because it assumes that it should make our lives better or teach us something.
Laurie Anderson
I'm actually not someone who believes in heaven or anything like that.
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
I wanted to stay hooked because it was the first time I've been part of the tradition where forgetting was just fine. You do it, you try, you forget, you fail.
Laurie Anderson
All of nature talks to me - if I could just figure out what it's saying - trees are swinging in the breeze. They're talking to me. Insects are rubbing their legs together. They're all talking. They're talking to me.
Laurie Anderson
