I do yoga. I do tai chi. I do a lot to keep my body and my spirit together so I can work.
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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.
Marianne Faithfull
I'm sick of being self-referential. I don't want to do any more songs that can be accused of being personal.
Marianne Faithfull
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.

Feminism is the best thing to come out of the '60's.
Marianne Faithfull
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.
Marianne Faithfull
I don't talk about my private life.
Marianne Faithfull
I love the Stones, but I've gone to a lot of gigs.
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.

Rebellion is the only thing that keeps you alive!

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

All I have to do is what's right for me.
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.
