Look poor, think rich.

In the early days of film, fans used to idolize a whole star - they would take one star and love everything about that star ... Today people can idolize a star in one area and forget about him in another. A big rock star might sell millions and millions of records, but then if he makes a bad movie ... forget it.

I get so tired of painting. I've been trying to give it up all the time, if we could just make a living out of movies or the newspaper business or something. It's so boring, painting the same picture over and over.

The most exciting thing is not doing it. If you fall in love with someone and never do it, it's much more exciting.

When I was in the hospital after I was shot they gave me drugs, but it was so great to get off those.

Sometimes something can look beautiful just because it's different in some way from the other things around it. One red petunia in a window box will look very beautiful if all the rest of them are white, and vice-versa.

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