The moment you label something, you take a step-I mean, you can never go back again to seeing it unlabelled.

Brigitte Bardot was one of the first women to be really modern and treat men like love objects, buying them and discarding them. I like that.

We live in an age when the traditional great subjects - the human form, the landscape, even newer traditions such as abstract expressionism - are daily devalued by commercial art.

As soon as you stop wanting something you get it. I've found that to be absolutely axiomatic.

Two people kissing always look like fish.

The girls in California were probably prettier in a standard sense than the New York girls--blonder and in better health, I guess; but I still preferred the way the girls in New York looked--stranger and more neurotic (a girl always looked more beautiful and fragile when she was about to have a nervous breakdown).

I never read, I just look at pictures.
