If I had gone ahead and died ten years ago, I'd probably be a cult figure today.

It's the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look how you feel about it.

My image is a statement of the symbols of the harsh, impersonal products and brash materialistic objects on which America is built today. It is a projection of everything that can be bought and sold, and practical but impermanent symbols that sustain us.

Art is what you can get away with.

The nicer I am, the more people think I'm lying.

If everyone isn't beautiful, then no one is.

I think everybody should like everybody.
