More quotes by Marianne Faithfull
I thought I wanted to go to drama school or university, and that would have been a completely different life. But what got me was the sound, and hearing it. Hearing everything so loud, I loved that back in the studio. I loved that from the very beginning.
Marianne Faithfull
I never like photos of myself in the beginning. I live with them for three months, put them in a drawer, take them out and look again. I hate the way I look, but of course it's really not that bad.
Marianne Faithfull
I don't talk about my private life.
Marianne Faithfull
I don't see decadence really as what you do, because I don't do much at all that is decadent in my life. But I still am decadent. It's a state of mind, I think.
Marianne Faithfull
It has been an extraordinary experience and, in many ways, extremely positive.
Marianne Faithfull
I shoot my big mouth off it just pops up! I have to learn to edit myself.
Marianne Faithfull
I'm sick of being self-referential. I don't want to do any more songs that can be accused of being personal.
Marianne Faithfull
I'm alive today, I'm well, I'm working, I'm still creative. What more can I say, really?
Marianne Faithfull
I love the Stones, but I've gone to a lot of gigs.
Marianne Faithfull
When you split from someone, it doesn't have to mean that you don't love them anymore, you realize that the period of that particular romance is over. One always has to get out before one gets kicked out.
Marianne Faithfull
I've got a lot of little compulsive problems, and I've thought about it a lot. And one of the things I ask myself is, 'What are the things I can do that won't hurt me and will help me?' The first answer is work.
Marianne Faithfull
There are so many myths out there about Marianne Faithfull, I had to, um, detach. But I can turn it on because Marianne Faithfull is really an attitude, you know.
Marianne Faithfull
I'm glad to say my father never felt ashamed of me, but my mother probably did.
Marianne Faithfull
I once asked my father what he wanted me to be. To my horror, he said, 'sociologist.'
Marianne Faithfull
I was told that I had very likely been clinically depressed for a long, long time, probably since I was 15, or even 14. It explained, to me at least, a lot of my behaviour over the years.
Marianne Faithfull
I have to watch out for being lazy.
Marianne Faithfull
I was anorexic in the 60s and 70s, although it wasn't called anorexia then. I thought people would be nicer to me if I looked very small and delicate, so food wasn't high on my agenda. But it is now.
Marianne Faithfull
You know the first objective is to get out of your hometown, second objective, get it together in the capital. The awful thing about left the school, is that you'd feel you'd be important. It would matter what you did.
Marianne Faithfull
I have to be able to love somebody except myself and the theater.
Marianne Faithfull
The only time I ever really consider retiring is when I get fed up with the press. Which is often.
