Marianne Faithfull
I shoot my big mouth off it just pops up! I have to learn to edit myself.

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
My first job was singing at the Hammersmith Odeon. It was years ago, so I can't remember who I was performing with. I was a sort of anti-climax after two hours of heavy rock-'n'-roll. Seventeen years old in a white dress. It was the first time that I got applause. Wonderful, that noise in my ears.

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
When you lose your reputation at 19, you lose everything.
Marianne Faithfull
I'm interested in time, fame, death, beauty, truth, all those things.
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 think drugs were used by me as a way of suppressing my natural spirit.
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'm glad to say my father never felt ashamed of me, but my mother probably did.
Marianne Faithfull
I love the Stones, but I've gone to a lot of gigs.
Marianne Faithfull
I like my work, but my life always comes first. I always wanted to have a beautiful life, and the way to do it is in show business.
