New things are always better than old things.

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

I always thought I'd like my own tombstone to be blank. No epitaph, and no name. Well, actually, I'd like it to say 'figment.'

I was trying to think the other day about what you do now in America if you want to be successful. Before, you were dependable and wore a good suit. Looking around, I guess that today you have to do all the same things but not wear a good suit. I guess that's all it is. Think rich. Look poor.

I like church. It's empty when I go. I walk around. There are so many beautiful Catholic churches in New York.

I am a deeply superficial person.

I really do live for the future, because when I'm eating a box of candy, I can't wait to taste the last piece.
