More quotes by Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson
I so much appreciate it when anybody tries to make something and tries to be an artist - I'm happy to see the work.
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'm actually not someone who believes in heaven or anything like that.
Laurie Anderson
I've been trying to avoid goal-oriented behavior.
Laurie Anderson
I'm an average enough person to point to the things I've gotten to see that are awe-inspiring.
Laurie Anderson
Art can be engaged in the world without being specifically politically engaged.
Laurie Anderson
