More quotes by Laurie Anderson
I think women are excellent social critics.
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
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
It's the tradition of American writers getting away in order to see the country - to get a better view.
Laurie Anderson
My job is to make images and leave the decision-making and conclusion-draw ing to other people.
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
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
Freedon is a scary thing. Most people don't want it.
Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson
I really trust audiences as having excellent taste, for the most part.
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 know a lot of people who have weird specialties that are not taught in schools they're things that you learn in life.
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
If you're a young artist, wondering what to call yourself, consider 'multimedia artist.' It's so vague. Then, no one can say, 'Hey, how come you're a jazz person, and you're making a pop opera?
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
Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories.
Laurie Anderson
You can do great things with low-tech stuff.
Laurie Anderson
I've been trying to avoid goal-oriented behavior.
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
History is an angel being blown backwards into the future
Laurie Anderson
