My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person. People are only glamorous if you don't see them. Like the movies used to make people years ago. There is something about people on screen that makes them so special; when you see them in person, they are so different and the whole illusion is gone.

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

New things are always better than old things.

I broke something and realized I should break something once a week to remind me how fragile life is.

The teachers liked me. In grade school, they make you copy pictures from books. I think the first one was Robert Louis Stevenson.

There is beauty in everything, Just not everybody sees it

Just like New Yorkers themselves, the trees in New York [city] work harder than any others in the world.
