thinking way firsts
I think the first photograph I did was a ballplayer. It was a way of showing action or something.
thinking way video
I think video is the best market. When the cassette market comes out, if you just do movies that nobody else can do, that'll be the new way.
writing thinking people
Nutty people are always writing me. I always think I must be on some nutty mailing list.
clever thinking things-in-life
In some circles where very heavy people think they have very heavy brains, words like "charming" and "clever" and "pretty" are all put-downs; all the lighter things in life, which are the most important things, are put down.
philosophy thinking looks
Look poor, think rich.
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.
thinking want machines
I want everybody to think alike. I think everybody should be a machine.
thinking burden terrific
I think Chris Burden is terrific. I really do.
thinking evil people
Now and then, someone would accuse me of being evil - of letting people destroy themselves while I watched, just so I could film them and tape-record them. But I didn't think of myself as evil - just realistic.
school kids thinking
I think kids should go to high school until they're 30. No, really, because people are staying younger now and there's nothing to do. If you stayed longer, then it would be really great.
believe thinking should-have
I think they should have movies in restaurants. I can't believe that so many people get together just to sit there. It's so abstract... isn't it abstract? What are these people sitting here watching?
thinking ideas knowing
What I've always wished I'd invented was paper underwear, even knowing that the idea never took off when they did come out with it. I still think it's a good idea, and I don't know why people resist it when they've accepted paper napkins and paper plates and paper curtains and paper towels-it would make more sense not to have to wash out underwear than not to have to wash out towels.
art thinking warhol
Andy Warhol: I think everybody should like everybody. Gene Swenson: Is that what Pop Art is all about? Andy Warhol: Yes, it's liking things.
