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

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
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.

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

Marianne Faithfull
When you are 18, 19, 20, you're used to being photographed all the time, in a certain way. So, the narcissism becomes almost out of control. And the way that young women are photographed, they become addicted to this feedback of the image.
Marianne Faithfull
The only time I ever really consider retiring is when I get fed up with the press. Which is often.
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.
