I used to know Madison Avenue advertisers. I didn't like 'em. Bunch of jerks.

I painted the Astor-Victoria sign seven times, and it's 395 feet wide and 58 feet high. I dropped a gallon of purple paint on Seventh Avenue and 47th Street from 15 stories up and didn't kill anybody. I dropped a brush at Columbus Circle. It fell on a guy's camel-hair coat.

Fox is not going to tell you this, but it is an open secret on Madison Avenue that they are charging a premium of $50,000 to $100,000 a spot to be in the first six minutes.

When I got my first loft, I still didn't know what I was going to paint... There were long stretches when I just sat there and thought without interruption.

I am getting old, so I really don't like clocks.

This is going to be like the 'Bridges of Madison Avenue', a very brief affair I'll write about in sappy letters to my grandchildren.
