I like things that don't look like you're in control. It's like life itself. You just learn how to benefit from accidents and chances that you take.

Like society, the diary is a world of useless secrets. Everything is there, yet there is nothing.

The whole world is a scab. The point is to pick it constructively.

I am a parasite off beauty.

I used to do horseback riding in the South, and it was just things I'd be pasting. I think my diaries was just an infantile desire to record things. I liked saving things instead of writing.

I had some highlight moments in the early '60s when I used to do a lot of rubbings. I used Afta; it's an amazing chemical. If you pour it on something and rub, you get amazing results. Before that, I used lighter fluid and, well, I've always liked blood. Everybody thinks I am very sick, but the thing is, blood is better than any ink or paint.
