philosophy thinking looks
Look poor, think rich.
sleep wish looks
The lobbies are always the best-looking place in the hotel-you wish you could bring out a cot and sleep in them. Compared to the lobby, your room always looks like a closet.
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 looks rich
Think rich, look poor.
looks feels
...the more you look at the same exact thing, the more the meaning goes away, and the better and emptier you feel.
self looks want
When I did my self-portrait, I left all the pimples out because you always should. Pimples are a temporary condition and they don't have anything to do with what you really look like. Always omit the blemishes-they're not part of the good picture you want.
fabulous looks trouble
If you can convince yourself that you look fabulous, you can save yourself the trouble of primping.
art want looks
If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There's nothing behind it.
mirrors looks stills
Day after day I look in the mirror and I still see something
looks pop-art boring-things
I never read, I just look at pictures,
mirrors people looks
People are always calling me a mirror and if a mirror looks into a mirror, what is there to see?
art long looks
I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.
reason someplace wore
Fashion, ... wasn't what you wore someplace anymore. It was the whole reason for going.
instead knew living shot suspected tv watching
Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there -- I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life. Right when I was being shot and ever since, I knew that I was watching television.
