Frases de Nico

Christa Päffgen, más conocida como Nico , fue una cantautora, modelo y actriz alemana. Es conocida tanto por su colaboración con The Velvet Underground, como por su trabajo como solista.

Si bien es más conocida por su trabajo musical, tuvo también un puñado de papeles en el cine, incluyendo una pequeña aparición en la aclamada película de Federico Fellini de 1960, La Dolce Vita. Fue amiga cercana y colaboradora artística de Andy Warhol, por lo que también actuó en varios papeles en sus películas de arte experimental, especialmente Chelsea Girls, lo cual la inspiró después a titular su álbum debut. Falleció el 18 de julio de 1988, como consecuencia de un accidente en bicicleta. Tenía parentesco con Hermann Päffgen, quien fundó la fábrica de cerveza Päffgen en 1883 en Colonia. Nico era sorda de un oído, lo que frecuentemente le traía problemas para escuchar lo que le decían, así como el equivocarse en alguna nota en el piano.

Nico: Frases en inglés

“You could say it like was like a fairy tale at the time; Andy would be the good fairy, and Jim would play the giant, Brian would be the witch, Paul McCartney would be the frog who turns into a prince, no, it would have to be the other way round.”

Nico

Describing her tumultuous experiences of 1967, as quoted in Life and Lies of an Icon (1995) by Richard Witts.
Contexto: You could say it like was like a fairy tale at the time; Andy would be the good fairy, and Jim would play the giant, Brian would be the witch, Paul McCartney would be the frog who turns into a prince, no, it would have to be the other way round. Well, it didn't seem like a fairy tale at the time. It was a lot of hassle. But I learned a lot of things, and I began to compose my own songs.

“The same things happen in different guises.”

Nico

On the decade which she fit in best, as quoted in Life and Lies of an Icon (1995) by Richard Witts.
Contexto: I would say the time has not yet come. I rebel against the present, whenever it is, because I have not seen any change, other than oppositions grow stronger. I would be a communist if it was more anarchist. Otherwise, I see only everything as an absurdity, so I can laugh and cry. I have lived in a continuation, from birth and growing towards death in a chain that cannot end. I don't see this decade then that decade. The same things happen in different guises. I am bohemian but at one time you would call me a hippie or a punk. I remain a bohemian whatever you call me. So maybe I am locked in the fifties. But I have never desired to grow up from my world as a child, which is when things are most clear and utopian. They are clear because you are at the center and you see all around you. When you get older you lose your sight … I lost something of my childishness when people around me start dying. Four of my family died within a year.

“It is better to be addicted to opium than to be addicted to money.”

Nico

On her "soul brother" Jim Morrison, as quoted in Life and Lies of an Icon (1995) by Richard Witts.
Contexto: I think he was the first man I met who was not afraid of me in some way. We were very similar, like brother and sister. Our spirits are similar. We were the same height and the same age, almost … He was well read and he introduced me to William Blake and also the English Romantic poets who came after him. Jim liked Shelley. I preferred Coleridge. In fact, he is my favoured poet of all time. Did you know they were all drug addicts? Coleridge was addicted to opium. It is better to be addicted to opium than to be addicted to money.

“I don't have a sense of time. Time is timeless to me, and I'm not in a hurry to get older. I mean, if I were worried about time, all the time, it would be terrible.”

Nico

Her response when asked about her sense of rhythm in songwriting, as quoted in Life and Lies of an Icon (1995) by Richard Witts.

“I have a habit of leaving places at the wrong time, just when something big may have happened for me.”

Nico

As quoted in Up-tight: the Velvet Underground story (2002) by Victor Bockris and Gerard Malanga.
