More quotes by 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
When you meet a man who is broken, pick him up and carry him. When you meet a woman who’s broken, put her all into your arms. Cause we don’t know where we come from … we don’t know where we are.
Laurie Anderson
I'm one of the first Americans who wasn't a torturer or an interrogator.
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
My secret dream is to write an epic poem. That's probably the most pretentious thing I've said.
Laurie Anderson
Don't be afraid of anyone. Imagine your life if you're not afraid of anyone.
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
Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories.
Laurie Anderson
The world is a strange and wonderful place.
Laurie Anderson

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
We want to dedicate our music tonight to the great opportunity that we all have to begin to truly understand the events of the past few days and to act upon them with courage and with compassion as we make our plans to live in a completely new world.
Laurie Anderson
I really like books that you can kind of hear as much as think about, that are so graphic and visual.
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
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
Last night, I had that dream again. I dreamt I had to take a test, in a Dairy Queen, on another planet.
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
And there was a beutiful view But nobody could see Cause everybody on the island Was saying Look at me! Look at me.
