“I wonder if it's possible to have a love affair that lasts forever.”

“The idea is not to live forever, it is to create something that will.”

“I love Los Angeles. I love Hollywood. They're beautiful. Everybody's plastic, but I love plastic. I want to be plastic.”

“Everybody has a different idea of love. One girl I know said, "I knew he loved me when de didn't come in my mouth. ”

“Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.”

“A picture means I know where I was every minute. That's why I take pictures. It's a visual diary.”

“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. People sometimes say that the way things happen in movies is unreal, but actually it's the way things happen 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. Right when I was being shot and ever since, I knew that I was watching television. The channels switch, but it's all television.”
