The way I choose to show my feelings is through my songs.
~ Marianne Faithfull
The voice of God, if you must know, is Aretha Franklin's.
France has been very good for me. It has given me a very worldly-cool attitude.
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 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.
My story is really an affirmation of my strength and my luck. To live with a great artist like Ted Hughes or Mick Jagger is a very, very destructive role for a woman trying to be herself. In fact, it can't be done.
I'm interested in time, fame, death, beauty, truth, all those things.
Maybe the most that you can expect from a relationship that goes bad is to come out of it with a few good songs.
