My biggest criticism is how can people be so easily satisfied? Even people with talent.

It's true the punk fashion itself was iconographic: rips and dirt, safety pins, zips, slogans, and hairstyles. These motifs were so iconic in themselves - motifs of rebellion.

I have always loved the Mao cap, though I hate violent revolution.

Liverpool people are famous for liking clothes and fashion; they are very social and lively people, and we know that they like clothes.

I do not approve of museums trying just to get people to come in. Whistler was very, very clear on this.

Economists treat economics as if it is a pure science divorced from the facts of life. The result of this false accountancy is a willful confusion under cover of which industry wreaks its havoc scot-free and ignores the environmental cost.

I'm always attracted to people who interest me. They've got to be people who are really true to themselves somehow, and who are always trying to do something that makes their life more interesting, or better, or something for somebody else. They're interested in people.
