More quotes by Marianne Faithfull
I'm a Capricorn, and they flower late.
Marianne Faithfull
I was anorexic in the 60s and 70s, although it wasn't called anorexia then. I thought people would be nicer to me if I looked very small and delicate, so food wasn't high on my agenda. But it is now.
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.

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.

I once asked my father what he wanted me to be. To my horror, he said, 'sociologist.'
Marianne Faithfull
I focus on the individual and not seeing this great big monster, the press.
Marianne Faithfull
When you split from someone, it doesn't have to mean that you don't love them anymore, you realize that the period of that particular romance is over. One always has to get out before one gets kicked out.

Marianne Faithfull
The really explicit phrase is doors of perception.
Marianne Faithfull
The only time I ever really consider retiring is when I get fed up with the press. Which is often.
Marianne Faithfull
I get all dressed up with that Marianne Faithfull face, and the next thing I know, I'm blurting out things that I shouldn't, trying to get attention when, really, I've got everybody's attention already.
Marianne Faithfull
When you lose your reputation at 19, you lose everything.
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
Rebellion is the only thing that keeps you alive!
Marianne Faithfull
I love the Stones, but I've gone to a lot of gigs.
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 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
I'm sick of being self-referential. I don't want to do any more songs that can be accused of being personal.
Marianne Faithfull
There are so many myths out there about Marianne Faithfull, I had to, um, detach. But I can turn it on because Marianne Faithfull is really an attitude, you know.
