Penitentiary songs have been a love of mine for years. They are so wonderful.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLPenitentiary songs have been a love of mine for years. They are so wonderful.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLAll I have to do is what’s right for me.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLI’m a Capricorn, and they flower late.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLI’m interested in time, fame, death, beauty, truth, all those things.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLWhen I found out my mother wanted me to marry a rich man, I instantly didn’t want any rich man.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLI am not frightened of much, but I wouldn’t like to get ill.
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 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 FAITHFULLI’m having a great life, and I want to go on having one.
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 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 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 FAITHFULLOf course I have regrets; I’m not stupid.
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 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 got my interest in Lotte Lenya and the Brecht-Weill canon from my parents. And I love classical music – I got that from my parents. I love Cole Porter – that I got from my dad.
