Certain Quote by Marianne Faithfull

“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.” quote by Marianne Faithfull
