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

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.

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.

I’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.
