I'm starting to think that the men are the ones who should wear the big jewelry because they can defend it better when it's robbed. They should wear the big diamonds. You can show how much of a man you are, because the bigger the diamond, the stronger you have to be to defend it.

You have to do stuff that average people don't understand because those are the only good things.

An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he - for some reason - thinks it would be a good idea to give them.

It’s not what you are that counts, it’s what they think you are.

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.

People's fantasies are what give them problems. If you didn't have fantasies you wouldn't have problems because you'd just take whatever was there.

You meet rich people and you hang around with them, and one night they've had a few drinks and they say 'I'll buy it!' Then they tell their friends, 'You must have this person's work, darling,' and that's all you need. That's all it takes. Get it?
