More quotes by Marianne Faithfull
I focus on the individual and not seeing this great big monster, the press.
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.

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.
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
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. But I know that cancer is a chronic condition, and once you've had it, you're on the list, because it can come back.
Marianne Faithfull
Never apologize, never explain - didn't we always say that? Well, I haven't and I don't.
Marianne Faithfull
I once asked my father what he wanted me to be. To my horror, he said, 'sociologist.'
Marianne Faithfull
I'm alive today, I'm well, I'm working, I'm still creative. What more can I say, really?
Marianne Faithfull
The only time I ever really consider retiring is when I get fed up with the press. Which is often.
Marianne Faithfull
Bad behaviour makes men more glamorous. Women get destroyed, thrown out of society and locked up in institutions.
Marianne Faithfull
I shoot my big mouth off it just pops up! I have to learn to edit myself.
Marianne Faithfull
I love the Stones, but I've gone to a lot of gigs.
Marianne Faithfull
When you lose your reputation at 19, you lose everything.
