sports stars figures
Sports figures are to the '70s what movie stars were to the '60s.
switzerland favorite-places my-favorite
Switzerland is my favorite place now, because it's so - nothing. There is absolutely nothing to do.
new-york hard-work cities
Just like New Yorkers themselves, the trees in New York [city] work harder than any others in the world.
thinking ifs
If you don’t think about it, it’s right.
fantasy knows
I don’t know anybody who doesn’t have a fantasy. Everybody must have a fantasy.
museums
The best museum is Bloomingdales.
artist people sculpture
I'll bet there are a lot of artists that nobody hears about who just make more money than anybody. The people that do all the sculptures and paintings for big building construction. We never hear about them, but they make more money than anybody.
country night thinking
I've been invited to the White House about five times. I think the greatest thing would be if they actually invited everybody to the White House every night... they'd just take about 500 people a night. Everybody would just love this country because it's so thrilling to go there. It really is.
mean steps labels
The moment you label something, you take a step-I mean, you can never go back again to seeing it unlabelled.
pits fruit reason
That's the hard part of overdosing on cherries-you have all the pits to tell you exactly how many you ate. Not more or less. Exactly. One-seed fruits really bother me for that reason. That's why I'd always rather eat raisins than prunes. Prune pits are even more imposing than cherry pits.
beautiful thinking people
I can't bear to let all this beautiful talk go by. Everybody says... fantastic things. People are always putting it down as an invasion of privacy, but I think everyone should be bugged all the time... bugged and photographed.
exercise may grocery-stores
I like to work when I'm not working - do something that may not be considered work, but to me it's work. Getting exercise by going to the grocery store.
real thinking people
During the '60s, I think, people forgot what emotions were supposed to be. And I don't think they've ever remembered. I think that once you see emotions from a certain angle you can never think of them as real again. That's what more or less has happened to me. I don't really know if I was ever capable of love, but after the '60s I never thought in terms of 'love' again.
ideas two people
What I was actually trying to do in my early movies was show how people can meet other people and what they can do and what they can say to each other. That was the whole idea: two people getting acquainted.
