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.

To be diagnosed with cancer was a frightening thing, and my first reaction was sheer panic, but I was really fortunate that the cancer was caught at such an early stage that I didn't need chemo or radiotherapy. But I know that cancer is a chronic condition, and once you've had it, you're on the list, because it can come back.
Marianne Faithfull
Feminism is the best thing to come out of the '60's.
Marianne Faithfull
Relationships have a nasty habit of reversing themselves whatever has been done to you in a previous involvement you'll do to the next person you're involved with, if you get half a chance.

The food that's never let me down in life is porridge, especially with milk and maple syrup, which is delicious. Paris isn't a porridge place, but I can buy it in London when I'm there and bring it back with me.
Marianne Faithfull
I'm alive today, I'm well, I'm working, I'm still creative. What more can I say, really?
Marianne Faithfull
If you analyze the bad times you find that it's because you wanted to have a bad time.
Marianne Faithfull
