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.

As soon as you stop wanting something you get it. I've found that to be absolutely axiomatic.

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

Everyone needs a fantasy.

I'll bet there are a lot of artists that nobody hears about who just make more money than anybody.

I don't believe people die. They just go uptown. To Bloomingdales. They just take longer to get back.

It's great not to be a collector.
