country space people
Free countries are great, because you can actually sit in somebody else's space for a while and pretend you're a part of it. You can sit in the Plaza Hotel and you don't even have to live there. You can just sit and watch the people go by.
toilets toilet-seat opening
I will go to the Opening of Anything, including a Toilet Seat
heart faithful planes
You can be just as faithful to a place or a thing as you can to a person. A place can really make your heart skip a beat, especially if you have to take a plane to get there.
reality want way
It must be hard to be a model, because you'd want to be like the photograph of you, and you can't ever look that way.
art believe successful
Years later, I figured out why he (Ivan Karp) was such a successful art dealer-this may sound strange, but I believe it was because art was his second love. He seemed to love literature more, and he put the serious side of his nature into that...Some people are even better at their second love than their first, maybe because when they care too much, it freezes them, but knowing there's something they'd rather be doing gives them a certain freedom.
thinking color people
I think every painting should be the same size and the same color so they're all interchangeable and nobody thinks they have a better painting or a worse painting.... Besides even when the subject is different, people want the same painting.
stars thinking laughing
I met someone on the street who said wasn't it great that we're going to have a movie star for president, that it was so Pop, and (laughs) when you think about it like that, it is great, it's so American.

Living in New York City gives people real incentives to want things that nobody else wants.

Business Art is the step that comes after Art.
commerce sells
Success is what sells.
mean men copying
I read an article on me once that described my machine-method of silk-screen copying and painting: 'What a bold and audacious solution, what depths of the man are revealed in this solution!' What does that mean?
thinking want machines
I want everybody to think alike. I think everybody should be a machine.
turns
When you do something exactly wrong, you always turn up something.
publicity peanuts eating
Publicity is like eating peanuts. Once you start you can’t stop.
