I want to do movies, but I want to do something that’s good. I don’t want to make any more films until I feel that I’m ready for it. I want to have good work, and a very elegant life. I believe you get what you want.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLI want to do movies, but I want to do something that’s good. I don’t want to make any more films until I feel that I’m ready for it. I want to have good work, and a very elegant life. I believe you get what you want.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLI’d love to make more money in America, that’s the heart of it. I make much more money in Europe. It’s a shame. I’m trying now to make a profit on this next tour, and I’ll be much happier.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLI do take care of myself; I get my nails done, and I have a skin doctor, but that’s it. I’m clean and groomed.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLI’m having a great life, and I want to go on having one.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLThe 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 FAITHFULLI once asked my father what he wanted me to be. To my horror, he said, ‘sociologist.’
MARIANNE FAITHFULLI’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 FAITHFULLI’m sick of being self-referential. I don’t want to do any more songs that can be accused of being personal.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLI never trusted anybody at all. I don’t know why it was so hard, I just didn’t.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLIf you analyze the bad times you find that it’s because you wanted to have a bad time.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLI went to the big Picasso retrospective at the Tate in the sixties, and I think I went to an Andy Warhol retrospective at the Tate in the sixties, too. My mother was very good at taking me to things like that. We lived in Reading, but we went on these cultural trips to London.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLAll 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 FAITHFULLFor some people, marriage may be very groovy. For me, it really isn’t. I don’t think it really is for most people anyway. Most people are not very happy.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLI think you have to really, really want to be a film star.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLWhen 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.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLOf course I have regrets; I’m not stupid.
