thinking should pop-art
I think everybody should like everybody.
art hate creativity
Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.
tombstone names headstone
I always thought I'd like my own tombstone to be blank. No epitaph, and no name. Well, actually, I'd like it to say 'figment.'
break-up years people
Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, So what. That's one of my favorite things to say. So what.
heaven want pot
I smoke pot because I want to go to heaven before I die
happiness found
As soon as you stop wanting something you get it. I've found that to be absolutely axiomatic.
morning eye thinking
I wake up every morning. I open my eyes and think: here we go again.
inspirational photography i-hate-you
The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.
bores-you boredom thrill
You need to let the little things that would ordinarily bore you suddenly thrill you.
art minutes
Everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.
thinking littles photographer
Sometimes the little times you don't think are anything while they're happening turn out to be what marks a whole period of your life.
jobs mean people
I've always thought that the President could do so much here to help change images. If the President would go into a public bathroom in the Capitol, and have the TV cameras film him cleaning the toilets and saying 'Why not? Somebody's got to do it!' then that would do so much for the morale of the people who do the wonderful job of keeping the toilets clean. I mean, it is a wonderful thing that they're doing.
interesting photographer happens
I like to be the right thing in the wrong place and the wrong thing in the right place. Being the right thing in the wrong place and the wrong thing in the right place is worth it because something interesting always happens.
change people want
When people are ready to, they change. They never do it before then, and sometimes they die before they get around to it. You can't make them change if they don't want to, just like when they do want to, you can't stop them.
