Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson
Being an artist is a totally godlike thing to do - and I have a god complex.
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
If I'm confused, I just spend some time looking at the sky and falling into it. It's not a meditation that anyone taught me, it's something I've done my whole life, and liked doing, and it made me feel like nothing.
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
Why do you have to translate and decode things? Just let the image be. It will have a special kind of reality that it won't once it's decoded.
