Puke and starve and cut and dr...

Puke and starve and cut and drink because you don't want to feel any of this. Puke and starve and cut and drink because you need an anesthetic and it works. For awhile. But then the anesthetic turns into poison and by then it's to late because you are maintaining it now,straight into your soul. It is rotting you and you can't stop.

I know a lot of people who have weird specialties that are not taught in schools; they're things that you learn in life.

Laurie Anderson 378 quotes

I always feel like if someone ...

I always feel like if someone has stage fright, I really try and say, 'Listen, these people want you to succeed, they want to have a good evening. They want to see something really great. They don't want to see something crappy. They don't. They want to be at something really special.'

Laurie Anderson 378 quotes

The audience creates its own p...

The audience creates its own personality, I've noticed, in the first five minutes. They will either be generous, funny, silly, withholding, academic, analytical, grudging. And I'm fascinated with how that gets constructed, because it happens right away.

Laurie Anderson 378 quotes

Audiences, whether they're see...

Audiences, whether they're seeing a film or a reading or whatever it is, a concert, they decide very quickly what kind of show it is, and then they judge it. They judge the rest of the thing by whether it conforms to their rules for what a good symphony orchestra would be.

There are plenty of ways you can play the game of fighting and really seem to be fighting without going for the jugular.

Laurie Anderson 378 quotes

I really trust audiences as having excellent taste, for the most part.

Laurie Anderson 378 quotes

I genuinely have never been in...

I genuinely have never been in an audience where most people want that person to fail. I've never been in an audience like that, and I've never seen it as a performer. Only in my dreams, in which case they are always throwing tomatoes and going, 'This is the most boring thing I've ever seen.'

Laurie Anderson 378 quotes

No single person who has ever ...

No single person who has ever lived will be able to tell you what happens. Period. Nobody's right and nobody's wrong.

The main thing that attracts m...

The main thing that attracts me to Buddhism is probably what attracts every artist to being an artist - that it's a godlike thing. You are the ultimate authority. There is no other ultimate authority.

I don't care about being famous or having a lot of people go, 'She's really good.'

Laurie Anderson 378 quotes

being an artist is a totally godlike thing to do - and I have a god complex.

Laurie Anderson 378 quotes

I'm thrilled by the fact that ...

I'm thrilled by the fact that I made something out of nothing. There it is! It wasn't there before: there it is - I made it! That's pretty powerful, and that's the power that Buddhists give to every single person.

Laurie Anderson 378 quotes

That's really a very different...

That's really a very different experience: You don't have to look to be understood. You're already understood.

Laurie Anderson 378 quotes

People who were born alone are...

People who were born alone are defined by feelings like 'Who's gonna be with me when I die? Who will ever understand me? Will I always feel so alone? Maybe if I write a book...' and you forget that that doesn't help you so much.

Laurie Anderson 378 quotes

Not many people care what you ...

Not many people care what you do. They care about what you do as much as you care about what they do. Think about it. Just exactly that much. You are not the center of the universe.

Laurie Anderson 378 quotes

When I was four, I was a kind ...

When I was four, I was a kind of sky worshipper. I would look at the sky, and I wanted to evaporate into the sky - I loved the sky. I loved looking at the trees, just because they touched the sky.

Laurie Anderson 378 quotes

If I'm confused, I just spend ...

If I'm confused, I just spend some time looking at the sky and falling into it. It's not a meditation that anyone taught me, it's something I've done my whole life, and liked doing, and it made me feel like nothing.

Laurie Anderson 378 quotes

We held hands when we walked down the gingerbread path into the forest, blood dripping from our fingers. We danced with witches and kissed monsters. We turned us into wintergirls, when she tried to leave, I pulled her back into the snow because I was afraid to be alone.

Because I am still a little girl who believes in Santa and the tooth fairy and you.
