I liked baseball and sports and Garbage Pail Kids and comic books. I know what it's like to really adore something.
You might as well enjoy the day - you never know when and how painfully it could all end.
I started my career buying and owning single-family houses, and I know that's a really tough job. Toilets break. Trees fall. There are so many things that can go wrong. Land, on the other hand, is cheap to manage. It's painless, really. All you have to do is pay your taxes, and that's it.
My father was an artist. When life was harder and he couldn't get jobs, he painted houses, but he was artistic. When I went to see his work, it was special. Somewhere along the line, I felt I was special. I didn't know why.
I don't very much enjoy looking at paintings in general. I know too much about them. I take them apart.
Really, I do not know whether my paintings are surrealist or not, but I do know that they are the frankest expression of myself.
I never know what I'm going to put on the canvas. The canvas paints itself. I'm just the middleman.
I'm always in my pajamas, unless I know for a fact that people are taking my picture.
I want people to know their palate is a snowflake. We all like different things. Why should we all have the same taste in wines?
Which Israel should we recognize? The Israel of 1917; the Israel of 1936; the Israel of 1948; the Israel of 1956; or the Israel of 1967? Which borders and which Israel? Israel has to recognize first the Palestinian state and its borders and then we will know what we are talking about.
I know Bea Arthur left the Pam Anderson roast really early, but it could have been because she was half dead; I don't know.
I used to go to a lot of Pam Hogg shows. The thing about London Fashion Week is that, generally, we're on tour and traveling around, so it's very rare that I actually catch it. I like to go to Burberry because I know a few girls who work there. I kind of follow friends.
I haven't written a brochure yet. It's killing me. I know I have a brochure or pamphlet in me yet.
You know, there's so much imitation and so much pandering in Hollywood.
I don't want to ever write a book that seems like it's pandering to younger people or talking down to people who I know are very smart.
Around '62 in Baltimore, all the girls had those big hairdos. And then suddenly, a few of the really hip ones started doing their hair straight. And people panicked. And it was called going 'Joe,' meaning Joe College. And people would say, 'I don't know. Should I be 'Joe'? I can't decide.'
I tend to spiral out of control if I'm not working. I get panicked and don't know what to do with myself.
I asked my kids, 'Do you know what Papa used to do.' They said, 'You were a boxer, you won the Olympics!' And that's what they know.
I always say to people, 'You know, if Romeo and Juliet got married, nobody would care about them.' Imagine Romeo and Juliet, six kids yelling, 'Mama, Mama, Papa, Papa!'
I don't know how people do it these days - paparazzi and that kind of thing. That's something I can't even imagine.
