An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he - for some reason - thinks it would be a good idea to give them.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.Being born is like being kidnapped. And then sold into slavery.Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.Don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in
inches.Dying is the most embarrassing thing that can ever happen to you, because someone's got to take care of all your details.Fantasy love is much better than reality love. Never doing it is very exciting. The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.I am a deeply superficial person. I had a lot of dates but I decided to stay home and dye my eyebrows. 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. I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of ''work,'' because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don't always want to do. The machinery is always going. Even when you sleep.I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own.I used to think that everything was just being funny but now I don't know. I mean, how can you tell?I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning. I'm the type who'd be happy not going anywhere as long as I was sure I knew exactly what was happening at the places I wasn't going to. I'm the type who'd like to sit home and watch every party that I'm invited to on a monitor in my bedroom. I've decided something: Commercial things really do stink. As soon as it becomes commercial for a mass market it really stinks. In the future everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes.Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?It would be very glamorous to be reincarnated as a great big ring on Liz Taylor's finger. It's the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look how you feel about it. Everybody has their own America, and then they have the pieces of a fantasy America that they think is out there but they can't see.Love and sex can go together and sex and unlove can go together and love and unsex can go together. But personal love and personal sex is bad.Machines have less problems. I'd like to be a machine.My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person. Once you 'got' Pop, you could never see a sign again the same way again. And once you thought Pop, you could never see America the same way again. 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 quicklyPeople sometimes say that the way things happen in the movies is unreal, but actually it's the way things happen to you in life that's unreal. The movies make emotions look so strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it's like watching television -- you don't feel anything.Sex is more exciting on the screen and between the pages than between the sheets.Sex is the biggest nothing of all time.Since people are going to be living longer and getting older, they'll just have to learn how to be babies longer.The day will come when everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.The mosquito is the state bird of New Jersey.The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.The truth... is the funniest joke in the world.They always say that time changes things, but you
actually have to change them yourself.Those who talk about individuality the most are the ones who most object to deviation, and in a few years it may be the other way around. Some day everybody will just think what they want to think, and then everybody will probably be thinking alike; thatWhat we're all looking for is someone who doesn't live there, just pays for it. |
