“I have Social Disease. I have to go out every night. If I stay home one night I start spreading rumors to my dogs.”

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 quickly.

I wake up every morning. I open my eyes and think: here we go again.

Everyone needs a fantasy.

I think anybody can take a good picture. My idea of a good picture is one that’s in focus and of a famous person doing something unfamous. It’s being in the right place at the wrong time.

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.

I don’t know where the artificial stops and the real starts.

I broke something and realized I should break something once a week to remind me how fragile life is.

As soon as you stop wanting something you get it. I’ve found that to be absolutely axiomatic.

I don’t want to be smart, because being smart makes you depressed.

My fascination with letting images repeat and repeat or in film’s case ‘run on’ manifests my belief that we spend much of our lives seeing without observing.

People’s fantasies are what give them problems. If you didn’t have fantasies you wouldn’t have problems because you’d just take whatever was there.

I think everybody should like everybody.

Exposure and attention make a work famous – the more you talk about it, the more attention it gets, the more validity it achieves.

I’m really afraid to feel happy because it never lasts

You’d be surprised how many people want to hang an electric chair on their living-room wall. Specially if the background color matches the drapes.

The more you look at the same exact thing, the more the meaning goes away, and the better and emptier you feel.

Aristocrats have heirs; the poor have children; the rest keep dogs.

You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks. Better we keep biscuits and go.

The serpent, the king, the tiger, the stinging wasp, the small child, the dog owned by other people, and the fool: these seven ought not to be awakened from sleep.

If I had been a dog walker, I would have been the most successful dog walker in Paris.

The life of an uneducated man is as useless as the tail of a dog which neither covers its rear end, nor protects it from the bites of insects.

The psychological and moral comfort of a presence at once humble and understanding-this is the greatest benefit that the dog has bestowed upon man.

If I loved a guy as much as I love my dog, the guy would be in serious trouble because I’m all over that dog, all of the time.

Let anyone speak hundreds of things against you, do not resent by giving a bitter reply. If you tolerate such things, you will certainly be happy. If anybody wants any money from you, and you are not inclined to give, do not give. But do not bark at him like a Dog.
