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.
art checks knows
You know it's ART, when the check clears.
stagnation security
Security breeds stagnation.
running strong-women weak-man
I always run into strong women who are looking for weak men to dominate them.
crazy past care
If something's going to happen for you, it will, you can't make it happen. And it never does happen until you're past the point where you care whether it happens or not. I guess it's for your own good that it always happens that way, because after you stop wanting things is where having them won't make you go crazy.
smart want being-smart
I don't want to be smart, because being smart makes you depressed.
