I got my interest in Lotte Lenya and the Brecht-Weill canon from my parents. And I love classical music - I got that from my parents. I love Cole Porter - that I got from my dad.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Image
The only time I ever really consider retiring is when I get fed up with the press. Which is often.
Marianne Faithfull
Image
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.

Rebellion is the only thing that keeps you alive!

Image
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.'

Image
Never apologize, never explain - didn't we always say that? Well, I haven't and I don't.

Image
I'm alive today, I'm well, I'm working, I'm still creative. What more can I say, really?

Image
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.

I do have a strong sense of God. It's impossible to explain what I mean when I say that, of course.

Bad behaviour makes men more glamorous. Women get destroyed, thrown out of society and locked up in institutions.

Image
If you analyze the bad times you find that it's because you wanted to have a bad time.

I'm glad to say my father never felt ashamed of me, but my mother probably did.

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.
