I thought I was going to be a bum the rest of my life.

I don't think about art when I'm working. I try to think about life.

Since I was seventeen I thought I might be a star. I'd think about all my heroes, Charlie Parker, Jimi Hendrix... I had a romantic feeling about how these people became famous.

I got stuff that's going to hurt for the rest of my life.

I thought 'Chelsea Girls' was going to change my life.

I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.
