More quotes by 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'm one of the first Americans who wasn't a torturer or an interrogator.
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
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
Long live the beauty that comes down and through and onto all of us.
Laurie Anderson
The world is a strange and wonderful place.
Laurie Anderson

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
A lot of words in English confuse the idea of life and electricity, like the word livewire.
Laurie Anderson
My job is to make images and leave the decision-making and conclusion-draw ing to other people.
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
Art can be engaged in the world without being specifically politically engaged.
Laurie Anderson
The only stuff I don't like are Broadway musicals. I hate them. I don't even like to talk about it. I can't bear musicals.
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
You can do great things with low-tech stuff.
Laurie Anderson
I know a lot of people who have weird specialties that are not taught in schools they're things that you learn in life.

Paradise Is exactly like Where you are right now Only much much Better.
