Everybody is going to be what they are, and whatever they are, there's not going to be anything to apologize about.

There was a time in the 1930s when magazine writers could actually make a good living. 'The Saturday Evening Post' and 'Collier's' both had three stories in each issue. These were usually entertaining, and people really went for them. But then television came along, and now of course, information technology...the new way of killing time.

Sometimes we don't even realize what we really care about, because we get so distracted by the symbols.

I never forget. I never forgive. I can wait. I find it very easy to harbor a grudge. I have scores to settle.

The notion that the public accepts or rejects anything in modern art is merely romantic fiction. The game is completed and the trophies distributed long before the public knows what has happened.

I'm a great believer in outlines.

If you label it this, then it can't be that.
