...the more you look at the same exact thing, the more the meaning goes away, and the better and emptier you feel.

I like church. It's empty when I go. I walk around. There are so many beautiful Catholic churches in New York.

I'm for mechanical art. When I took up silk screening, it was to more fully exploit the preconceived image through the commercial techniques of multiple reproduction.

Since I was shot, everything is such a dream to me. Like I don't know whether I'm alive or whether I died. I wasn't afraid before. And having been dead once, I shouldn't feel fear. But I am afraid. I don't understand why.

It's funny when people don't know you and they meet you for the first time and think you're so great. When fans know you for more than three or four times the magic is gone.

It’s not what you are that counts, it’s what they think you are.

Everybody does the same thing over and over again. I like to do the same thing every day.
