I do not want my new works to be generated in a market or audience of any kind.

I don't trust or love anyone. Because people are so creepy. Creepy creepy creeps. Creeping around. Creeping here and creeping there. Creeping everywhere.

I don't drink any coffee or take any drugs and I don't smoke cigarettes and I don't eat sugar and I don't take any medicine at all. I eat a lot of fish, vegetables, and I stay away from starches.

I never apologized for anything in my life. The only thing I'm sorry about is putting a curse on Roger Ebert's colon. If a fat pig like Roger Ebert doesn't like my movie, then I'm sorry for him.

I'm the happiest the saddest guy in the world can be.

I never wanted to be an actor. I never want to be an actor. I want to be a movie star. The whole idea of having to act is too gruesome. It's too ambitious for me.

I constantly try to reinvent my sensibilities and my ideas. I enjoy some of the satisfaction that I get when I feel good about what I've done. But the process is quite lonely and quite painful.

My parents were dishonest people. If it was my birthday, I knew my mother took me to the K-Mart and she stole my toy. She'd put it in the shopping cart and we'd walk out. I was raised with that.

I want to thank Gus Van Sant for selling out so that I could use his editor Curtis Clayton, who did a great job.

I stopped painting in 1990 at the peak of my success just to deny people my beautiful paintings. And I did it out of spite.

I am available to all women - all women who can afford me, that is.

Human are best protector or worst destroyer of nature and humanity itself

The worst thing in your own development as a leader is not to do it wrong. It’s to do it for the wrong reasons.

A lot of people ask me if I'm OK. I'm capable of crazy - a lot of people are - but I'm OK.

I'm inspired by it all - the good and the not so good - because every experience is an opportunity for me to learn, grow, and become the best version of myself.

I am a Christian. My husband and I belong to the Episcopal Church.

Lie rather still because this is the first time I've used this equipment.

How poor is the wisdom of men, and how uncertain their forecast!

If you are going to succeed, you must deal with what caused you to fail

After all, it is the divinity within that makes the divinity without.

I must assert in the most unqualified way that it is primarily and mainly for the sake of saving the soul that I seek the salvation of the body.
