The President has so much good publicity potential that hasn't been exploited. He should just sit down one day and make a list of all the things that people are embarrassed to do that they shouldn't be embarrassed to do, and then do them all on television.
Andy Warhol

I like to be the right thing in the wrong space and the wrong thing in the right space. But usually being the right thing in the wrong space and the wrong thing in the right space is worth it, because something funny always happens.

I'm confused about who the news belongs to. I always have it in my head that if your name's in the news, then the news should be paying you.

The girls in California were probably prettier in a standard sense than the New York girls--blonder and in better health, I guess but I still preferred the way the girls in New York looked--stranger and more neurotic (a girl always looked more beautiful and fragile when she was about to have a nervous breakdown).

My instinct about painting says, 'if you don't think about it, it's right.' As soon as you have to decide and choose, it's wrong. And the more you decide about, the more wrong it gets.

Uptown is for people who have already done something. Downtown is where they’re doing something now. I live uptown but I love downtown.

People need to be made more aware of the need to work at learning how to live because life is so quick and sometimes it goes away too quickly.

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.
