Maybe the most that you can expect from a relationship that goes bad is to come out of it with a few good songs.
From Marianne Faithfull
Life has changed. People have changed. They are more forgiving, less inclined to rush to judgment. And I have changed.
When 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.
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 come from a very left wing Socialist family, anti-war and anti-empire.
Rebellion is the only thing that keeps you alive!
I think I'm really powerful. They'll smash me, probably.
I took drugs because we all took drugs.
I shoot my big mouth off; it just pops up! I have to learn to edit myself.
I never trusted anybody at all. I don't know why it was so hard, I just didn't.
