00:02People have forgotten how powerful they are.
00:05They've forgotten the dignity of being human.
00:08Welcome to the Ministry of Not Forgetting.
00:11Today we announce our first subject, Marianne Faithfull.
00:18A career spanning six decades, full of thirty albums,
00:22and yet the world she's still just made Jagger's ex-girlfriend.
00:27Well, f*** that.
00:31I didn't have the normal process of growing up.
00:34I went straight from school into the pop business.
00:37I never saw myself as a pop singer.
00:40You're a split between who I really am,
00:42what they wanted me to be.
00:44She was a spanner in the works.
00:50I was very anarchic.
00:54There's nothing more frightening than female desire.
01:00I knew I was writing something very special, but the woman who wrote it wasn't allowed to sing it.
01:06We can't have a woman singing about drugs, can we?
01:09And what does that do to you?
01:10It hurts.
01:12I tried to commit suicide.
01:17Homelessness.
01:18Heroin addiction.
01:19I lost count of how many people you went to pick.
01:20Drug scenes.
01:22You were one of the first, like Amy Winehouse or Britney Spears.
01:25How did you crawl back?
01:27Well, it just goes to show.
01:29In spite of all these things, I've actually been living a rather lovely life.
01:34Not what they see.
01:36Creativity and memory are inseparable.
01:39Please, Sister Morphe
01:43Turn my nightmares into a dream
01:47The thing that really carries me through is the music.
