Art is what you can get away with.

When I did my self-portrait, I left all the pimples out because you always should. Pimples are a temporary condition and they don't have anything to do with what you really look like. Always omit the blemishes-they're not part of the good picture you want.

I don’t know anybody who doesn’t have a fantasy. Everybody must have a fantasy.

During the '60s, I think, people forgot what emotions were supposed to be. And I don't think they've ever remembered. I think that once you see emotions from a certain angle you can never think of them as real again. That's what more or less has happened to me. I don't really know if I was ever capable of love, but after the '60s I never thought in terms of 'love' again.

I used to think that everything was just being funny but now I don't know. I mean, how can you tell?

I smoke pot because I want to go to heaven before I die
