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.

More quotes by Marianne Faithfull
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.

I thought I wanted to go to drama school or university, and that would have been a completely different life. But what got me was the sound, and hearing it. Hearing everything so loud, I loved that back in the studio. I loved that from the very beginning.
Marianne Faithfull
Feminism is the best thing to come out of the '60's.
Marianne Faithfull
I love the Stones, but I've gone to a lot of gigs.
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
I focus on the individual and not seeing this great big monster, the press.
Marianne Faithfull
I do yoga. I do tai chi. I do a lot to keep my body and my spirit together so I can work.

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 do have a strong sense of God. It's impossible to explain what I mean when I say that, of course.
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.
Marianne Faithfull
I shoot my big mouth off it just pops up! I have to learn to edit myself.
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 like my work, but my life always comes first. I always wanted to have a beautiful life, and the way to do it is in show business.
Marianne Faithfull
I'm interested in time, fame, death, beauty, truth, all those things.
Marianne Faithfull
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.
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
The only time I ever really consider retiring is when I get fed up with the press. Which is often.
Marianne Faithfull
Rebellion is the only thing that keeps you alive!

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