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.

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

I wish people didn't just think of me in the '60s. I'm not any era.

I love the Stones, but I've gone to a lot of gigs.

I've done everything I want to do and gone everywhere I want to go.

I get all dressed up with that Marianne Faithfull face, and the next thing I know, I'm blurting out things that I shouldn't, trying to get attention when, really, I've got everybody's attention already.

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.

It has been an extraordinary experience and, in many ways, extremely positive.

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

I live a very nice life. I have a wonderful time. But it's not lived drawing on a full level. I'm relaxed, cool, and enjoying it.

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.

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.

I do have a strong sense of God. It's impossible to explain what I mean when I say that, of course.
Marianne Faithfull
Image
I focus on the individual and not seeing this great big monster, the press.

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.
