MARIANNE FAITHFULLPenitentiary songs have been a love of mine for years. They are so wonderful.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLWhen I found out my mother wanted me to marry a rich man, I instantly didn’t want any rich man.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLI do yoga. I do tai chi. I do a lot to keep my body and my spirit together so I can work.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLWhen 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 FAITHFULLIf you analyze the bad times you find that it’s because you wanted to have a bad time.
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’m interested in time, fame, death, beauty, truth, all those things.
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 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 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 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 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 FAITHFULLIf I let myself sink into depression, I won’t be able to get out. And then I’ll be awfully unhappy. I just have to turn my face to the light and walk on. And trust that things will be all right.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLI’m having a great life, and I want to go on having one.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLI’m glad to say my father never felt ashamed of me, but my mother probably did.
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.
