I do have a strong sense of God. It's impossible to explain what I mean when I say that, of course.
Marianne Faithfull
Feminism is the best thing to come out of the '60's.

When you lose your reputation at 19, you lose everything.

I'm alive today, I'm well, I'm working, I'm still creative. What more can I say, really?

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

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.

The only time I ever really consider retiring is when I get fed up with the press. Which is often.

Marianne Faithfull
I'm a Capricorn, and they flower late.

Marianne Faithfull
It has been an extraordinary experience and, in many ways, extremely positive.
Marianne Faithfull
The really explicit phrase is doors of perception.
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
I don't talk about my private life.
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.
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.
