Laurie Anderson
The fewer expectations you have, the better.
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.

If you're a young artist, wondering what to call yourself, consider 'multimedia artist.' It's so vague. Then, no one can say, 'Hey, how come you're a jazz person, and you're making a pop opera?
Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson
I genuinely have never been in an audience where most people want that person to fail. I've never been in an audience like that, and I've never seen it as a performer. Only in my dreams, in which case they are always throwing tomatoes and going, This is the most boring thing I've ever seen.
Laurie Anderson
It's the tradition of American writers getting away in order to see the country - to get a better view.
Laurie Anderson
The right to carry a gun has nothing to do with the rights of other people.
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'm actually not someone who believes in heaven or anything like that.
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
And there was a beutiful view But nobody could see Cause everybody on the island Was saying Look at me! Look at me.
Laurie Anderson
So many things have happened to me in my life that I could be phobic about.
Laurie Anderson
Last night, I had that dream again. I dreamt I had to take a test, in a Dairy Queen, on another planet.
Laurie Anderson
I see and write things first as an artist, second as a woman, and third as a New Yorker. All three have built-in perspectives that aren't neutral.
Laurie Anderson
