beautiful girl new-york
The girls in California were probably prettier in a standard sense than the New York girls--blonder and in better health, I guess; but I still preferred the way the girls in New York looked--stranger and more neurotic (a girl always looked more beautiful and fragile when she was about to have a nervous breakdown).
giving people fantasy
People's fantasies are what give them problems. If you didn't have fantasies you wouldn't have problems because you'd just take whatever was there.
love sex together
Love and sex can go together and sex and unlove can go together and love and unsex can go together. But personal love and personal sex is bad.
men like-love buying
Brigitte Bardot was one of the first women to be really modern and treat men like love objects, buying them and discarding them. I like that.
want way machines
The reason I'm painting this way is that I want to be a machine, and I feel that whatever I do and do machine-like is what I want to do.
wall color people
You'd be surprised how many people want to hang an electric chair on their living-room wall. Specially if the background color matches the drapes.
checks bounce
Success is when the checks don’t bounce.
space want looks
When I look at things, I always see the space they occupy. I always want the space to reappear, to make a comeback, because it's lost space when there's something in it.
thinking want would-be
The interviewer should just tell me the words he wants me to say and I’ll repeat them after him. I think that would be so great because I’m so empty I just can’t think of anything to say.
men artist bottles
The pop artists did images that anybody walking down Broadway could recognize in a split second — comics, picnic tables, men’s trousers, celebrities, shower curtains, refrigerators, Coke bottles. All the great modern things that the Abstract Expressionists tried not to notice at all.
beautiful girl thinking
I know a girl who just looks at her face in the medicine cabinet mirror and never looks below her shoulders, and she's four or five hundred pounds but she doesn't see all that, she just sees a beautiful face and therefore she thinks she's a beauty. And therefore, I think she's a beauty, too, because I usually accept people on the basis of their self-images, because their self-images have more to do with the way they think than their objective-images do.
death believe people
I don't believe people die. They just go uptown. To Bloomingdales. They just take longer to get back.
art jobs directors
Voyeurism is a director's job description. It's an artist's, too.
beautiful ifs
If everyone isn't beautiful, then no one is.
