More quotes by 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.

Feminism is the best thing to come out of the '60's.
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.
Marianne Faithfull
Bad behaviour makes men more glamorous. Women get destroyed, thrown out of society and locked up in institutions.
Marianne Faithfull
I've done everything I want to do and gone everywhere I want to go.

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
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.

I once asked my father what he wanted me to be. To my horror, he said, 'sociologist.'
Marianne Faithfull
I'm glad to say my father never felt ashamed of me, but my mother probably did.

I'm a Capricorn, and they flower late.
Marianne Faithfull
If you analyze the bad times you find that it's because you wanted to have a bad time.
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 shoot my big mouth off it just pops up! I have to learn to edit myself.
Marianne Faithfull
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.
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
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.
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
I have to be able to love somebody except myself and the theater.
Marianne Faithfull
I'm interested in time, fame, death, beauty, truth, all those things.
