Marianne Faithfull
The really explicit phrase is doors of perception.
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
I have to watch out for being lazy.
Marianne Faithfull
