I never understood why when you died, you didn't just vanish, everything could just keep going on the way it was only you just wouldn't be there. 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.'

Everything will be art and nothing will be art, because everything, as I believe, already is.

Don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches.

Art is what you can get away with.

Now and then, someone would accuse me of being evil - of letting people destroy themselves while I watched, just so I could film them and tape-record them. But I didn't think of myself as evil - just realistic.

It's funny when people don't know you and they meet you for the first time and think you're so great. When fans know you for more than three or four times the magic is gone.

At the times in my life when I was feeling the most gregarious and looking for bosom friendships, I couldn't find any takers, so that exactly when I was alone was when I felt the most like not being alone... I became a loner in my own mind... I decided I'd rather be alone.
