The closer we come to the negative, to death, the more we blossom.

If a man don't go his own way, he is nothing.

James Dean's death had a profound effect on me. The instant I heard about it, I vomited. I don't know why.

I have the same problem as Marilyn. We attract people the way honey does bees, but they're generally the wrong kind of people. People who want something from us - if only our energy. We need a period of being alone to become ourselves.

I keep my family out of my public life because it can be an awful nuisance to them. What's my mother going to tell strangers anyway? That I was a cute baby and that she's terribly proud of me? Nuts. Who cares?

A man should be what he can do.

I have enough money to get by. I'm not independently wealthy, just independently lazy, I suppose.
