Everybody has their own America, and then they have pieces of a fantasy America that they think is out there but they can't see.

I love the English language just like I love all American things. But I confess that I don't feel confident using complex sentences or big words, hence my famous minimally expressive style - all the "gees" and laconic answers to interviewers. Most of all, I have developed listening as an art form.

I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.

Fashion wasn't what you wore someplace anymore; it was the whole reason for going.

Empty space is never-wasted space. Wasted space is any space that has art in it.

I've decided something: Commercial things really do stink. As soon as it becomes commercial for a mass market it really stinks.

I like to work when I'm not working - do something that may not be considered work, but to me it's work. Getting exercise by going to the grocery store.
