I'd rather do new stuff. The old stuff is better to talk about than to see. It always sounds better than it really is.

I think anybody can take a good picture. My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person doing something unfamous. It's being in the right place at the wrong time.

If I had gone ahead and died ten years ago, I'd probably be a cult figure today.

I get so tired of painting. I've been trying to give it up all the time, if we could just make a living out of movies or the newspaper business or something. It's so boring, painting the same picture over and over.

How can you say one style is better than another? You ought to be able to be an Abstract Expressionist next week, or a Pop artist, or a realist, without feeling you've given up something.. I think that would be so great, to be able to change styles. And I think that's what's is going to happen, that's going to be the whole new scene.

New things are always better than old things.

I never understand how the lipstick business goes on because lipstick lasts forever.
