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 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 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 once asked my father what he wanted me to be. To my horror, he said, ‘sociologist.’
MARIANNE FAITHFULLWhen I found out my mother wanted me to marry a rich man, I instantly didn’t want any rich man.
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 FAITHFULLThere is a land that I can go to When I have time to rest. All the people I love are there And those who love me best.
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 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 FAITHFULLThere 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 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 FAITHFULLOf course I have regrets; I’m not stupid.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLAll I have to do is what’s right for me.
MARIANNE FAITHFULLIt’s always a good idea to get yourself a famous, rich, and groovy young man. That’s one of the best-known methods of furthering your career.
