The teachers liked me. In grade school, they make you copy pictures from books. I think the first one was Robert Louis Stevenson.

I never understood why when you died, you didn't just vanish, everything could just keep going on the way it was only you just wouldn't be there. 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.'

I think that would be so great, to be able to change styles. And I think that's what's is going to happen, that's going to be the whole new scene.

I just do art because I’m ugly and there’s nothing else for me to do.
Andy Warhol

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.

If everyone isn't beautiful, then no one is.
