More quotes by Laurie Anderson
Being an artist is a totally godlike thing to do - and I have a god complex.
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
It's just such a great miracle when things do work, and they work for such a wild variety of crazy reasons.
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
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
So many things have happened to me in my life that I could be phobic about.
Laurie Anderson
Long live the beauty that comes down and through and onto all of us.
Laurie Anderson
The fewer expectations you have, the better.
Laurie Anderson
When love is gone, there's always justice. And when justice is gone, there's always force. And when force is gone, there's always Mom. Hi, Mom!
Laurie Anderson
Shining in the midnight moonlight, while the King sings love me tender.
Laurie Anderson
The right to carry a gun has nothing to do with the rights of other people.
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 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
I'm a real workaholic.
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
Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories.
Laurie Anderson
It's the tradition of American writers getting away in order to see the country - to get a better view.
Laurie Anderson
Freedon is a scary thing. Most people don't want it.
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
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
