More quotes by Marianne Faithfull
I'm glad to say my father never felt ashamed of me, but my mother probably did.
Marianne Faithfull
I've got a lot of little compulsive problems, and I've thought about it a lot. And one of the things I ask myself is, 'What are the things I can do that won't hurt me and will help me?' The first answer is work.
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.
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
I know for a fact that Heaven and Hell are here on Earth.

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.

The only time I ever really consider retiring is when I get fed up with the press. Which is often.
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'm a Capricorn, and they flower late.
Marianne Faithfull

Marianne Faithfull
All I have to do is what's right for me.
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.
Marianne Faithfull
Relationships have a nasty habit of reversing themselves whatever has been done to you in a previous involvement you'll do to the next person you're involved with, if you get half a chance.
Marianne Faithfull
Bad behaviour makes men more glamorous. Women get destroyed, thrown out of society and locked up in institutions.
Marianne Faithfull
You know the first objective is to get out of your hometown, second objective, get it together in the capital. The awful thing about left the school, is that you'd feel you'd be important. It would matter what you did.
Marianne Faithfull
I have to be able to love somebody except myself and the theater.
Marianne Faithfull
I have to watch out for being lazy.
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
I think drugs were used by me as a way of suppressing my natural spirit.
Marianne Faithfull
When you lose your reputation at 19, you lose everything.
