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.

More quotes by Marianne Faithfull
The voice of God, if you must know, is Aretha Franklin's.
Marianne Faithfull
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.
Marianne Faithfull

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 have to watch out for being lazy.
Marianne Faithfull
I don't see decadence really as what you do, because I don't do much at all that is decadent in my life. But I still am decadent. It's a state of mind, I think.
Marianne Faithfull
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.'
Marianne Faithfull
Rebellion is the only thing that keeps you alive!

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

I'm a Capricorn, and they flower late.
