More quotes by Laurie Anderson
You can do great things with low-tech stuff.
Laurie Anderson
When I was four, I was a kind of sky worshipper. I would look at the sky, and I wanted to evaporate into the sky - I loved the sky. I loved looking at the trees, just because they touched the sky.
Laurie Anderson
The right to carry a gun has nothing to do with the rights of other people.
Laurie Anderson
I'm actually not someone who believes in heaven or anything like that.
Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson

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
We want to dedicate our music tonight to the great opportunity that we all have to begin to truly understand the events of the past few days and to act upon them with courage and with compassion as we make our plans to live in a completely new world.
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
I always feel like if someone has stage fright, I really try and say, Listen, these people want you to succeed, they want to have a good evening. They want to see something really great. They don't want to see something crappy. They don't. They want to be at something really special.
Laurie Anderson
My secret dream is to write an epic poem. That's probably the most pretentious thing I've said.
Laurie Anderson
I think artists who are attracted to working on the Net will adjust their work to the capabilities of a very small screen.
Laurie Anderson
The main thing that attracts me to Buddhism is probably what attracts every artist to being an artist - that it's a godlike thing. You are the ultimate authority. There is no other ultimate authority.
Laurie Anderson
I am a New Yorker, one I'm an artist, two I'm a woman, three.
