“Look poor, think rich.”

I always think I don’t do the first one good, so I try to do it more.

I smoke pot because I want to go to heaven before I die.

Why do people think artists are special? It’s just another job.

People are always so boring when they band together. You have to be alone to develop all the idiosyncrasies that make a person interesting.

The nicer I am, the more people think I’m lying.

The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.

People should fall in love with their eyes closed.

The reason I’m painting this way is that I want to be a machine, and I feel that whatever I do and do machine-like is what I want to do.

I wonder if it’s possible to have a love affair that lasts forever.

Success is when the checks don’t bounce.

But I always say, one’s company, two’s a crowd, and three’s a party

Pop art is about liking things.

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

Everybody winds up kissing the wrong person good-night.

I don’t come from a family that had the money to put me through college, so I left school with $100,000 in student loan debt.

It is poor rule that won’t work more ways than one.

How beautiful it would be if the poor could occupy in our hearts the place they have in the heart of God!

They have money for war but can’t feed the poor.

We were poor. But my mom never accepted that. She worked hard to become a residential contractor – got her master’s with honors at the University of New Orleans. I used to go to every class with her. Her father was my paternal figure.

I had noticed that both in the very poor and very rich extremes of society the mad were often allowed to mingle freely.

Lord, help my poor soul.

It’s a poor rule that won’t work both ways.
