I stopped taking drugs when I was 19, and who wants to drive a cab around New York with drugs in their car?

People are constantly telling me, whether they are friends who feel sorry for me, because I can't find a place to live, or real estate agents, "You can't afford an apartment the size you need with this many books. Why don't you just put some of your books in storage?" And I always say the same thing: "What if I told you I had four children? Would you say, 'You just can't afford to house four children. Why don't you just put two of them in storage?'" That's how I feel.

I'd like to decide who comes here. I'd like to be the admissions director of New York.

Perhaps the least cheering statement ever made on the subject of art is that life imitates it.
