The Difference Between Art and Life is that Art is More Bearable

I was only photographing in words the reality of it all.

People don't need love. What they need is success in one form or another. It can be love but it needn't be.

I suppose like others I have come through fire and sword, love gone wrong, head-on crashes, drunk at sea, and I have listened to the simple sound of water running in tubs and wished to drown

What a weary time those years were -- to have the desire and the need to live but not the ability.

and I laugh, I can still laugh, who can't laugh when the whole thing is so ridiculous that only the insane, the clowns, the half-wits, the cheaters, the whores, the horseplayers, the bankrobbers, the poets ... are interesting?

there are so many days when living stops and pulls up and sits and waits like a train on the rails.
