The nice thing about us lot is that what we do is of no consequence. We don't do things that are important we spend our lives doing things which are not important. That's what's nice about us, we're not pompous. We never do anything very bad that's gonna change the world. We're not serious, we're butterflies. We live for a day.

The equipment you've got really dictates what you're going to do. When I started touring, there were no monitors, so I had to take the sound from the hall, and of course it was on a delay, so I would sing, and then I would hear it back, but later. It was very weird.
Marianne Faithfull
I have to be able to love somebody except myself and the theater.
Marianne Faithfull
I focus on the individual and not seeing this great big monster, the press.

All I can say is I've been lucky with my body. Well done, little body. I praise it and say, 'You're very good.'
