“for brian, i think his friendship with tara was a safe haven with all that was going on in the studio… in the end, he [brian] didn’t have any friends at all, except people who worked for him or people who used him to procure drugs and girls. but at the time he was lucky enough to have tara.” - anita pallenberg.

“they were both pisces. free-spirited. very moral in their ways, without ever being sanctimonious. they were like brothers to each other.” - nicki browne, tara’s wife.

“tara was quite shy. he didn’t come into a room and make a noise big. he was a ray of sunshine rather than a blast. brian was more of a blast. he’d come in and the room would move a bit. - jane ormsby-gore.

“tara was such a mellow kind of person. brian never had that. he was tortured. very paranoid. very sensitive. but he would have loved to have had the peace of mind that tara had. that’s why he wanted to always spend time with him.” - anita pallenberg.

“brian was devastated by tara’s death. he also felt completely rejected by the group. he was very difficult to control because of all the drugs he was taking. he kept telling me he was going to go solo, make an album. he felt lost and rejected. he has no friends, just hangers-on. tara, i think was the last true friend he had.” - amanda lear.

“brian definitely went downhill after tara died… a lot of people like brian, who loved tara, mourned him in very dangerous ways.” - marianne faithfull.
