toilets toilet-seat opening
I will go to the Opening of Anything, including a Toilet Seat
years ideas people
My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person. People are only glamorous if you don't see them. Like the movies used to make people years ago. There is something about people on screen that makes them so special; when you see them in person, they are so different and the whole illusion is gone..
self looks want
When I did my self-portrait, I left all the pimples out because you always should. Pimples are a temporary condition and they don't have anything to do with what you really look like. Always omit the blemishes-they're not part of the good picture you want.
love-is chemicals symptoms
The symptom of love is when some of the chemicals inside you go bad. So there must be something in love because your chemicals do tell you something.
waste makers critics
Sociological critics are waste makers.
machines want
I want to be a machine.
pits fruit reason
That's the hard part of overdosing on cherries-you have all the pits to tell you exactly how many you ate. Not more or less. Exactly. One-seed fruits really bother me for that reason. That's why I'd always rather eat raisins than prunes. Prune pits are even more imposing than cherry pits.
people would-be care
I still care about people but it would be so much easier not to care. I don't want to get too close; I don't like to touch things...
looks feels
...the more you look at the same exact thing, the more the meaning goes away, and the better and emptier you feel.
wish way action
Human beings are born solitary, but everywhere they are in chains - daisy chains - of interactivity. Social actions are makeshift forms, often courageous, sometimes ridiculous, always strange. And in a way, every social action is a negotiation, a compromise between 'his,' 'her' or 'their' wish and yours.
sleep wish looks
The lobbies are always the best-looking place in the hotel-you wish you could bring out a cot and sleep in them. Compared to the lobby, your room always looks like a closet.
differences america vision
[My vision of America is] a good vision. Actually the best is on TV. I wanted to shoot all the pictures off the TV. No one would have known the difference.
style periods ifs
You have to hang on in periods when your style isn't popular, because if it's good, it'll come back, and you'll be a recognized beauty once again.
