I grew up in Columbus, Indiana, a kind of industrial and farmland place.

Maybe if they all could he combined - art, rock and fashion. Those were always my favorite things.

But after the time there I'd had it with fashion again, so I left to go to architecture school in a summer course at Harvard, which didn't last very long.

I guess you just fall into things when to you're supposed to.

The photograph, the clothes, the sets - this was about 1974, and I started hanging out with my friend Richard Sold, who was playing in a band with Patti Smith.

I got to the point where I was sick of fashion again, like I was at the end of high school.

I watched television a little, but I mostly just drew and read magazines.

I finished high school there and then I went to Rhode Island School of Design.

I lived in town until I was eight and then I moved nearer the farmland, so I had a mixture.

Then I moved down to the Bowery to this building where Debbie Harry lived. It was there that I started combining some clothes for her and continued doing the art and photography.

I don't know if it's a movement, but the only thing new that's happening is that I think music and art and video and fashion are all kind of thrown into one big ball that's on television, and people see that all the time - you see a fusion of all those things.

I just really wanted to do art, except when I was taking those photographs of people I would make the clothes that I would photograph them in so I could control the whole thing.

I grew up in Columbus, Indiana, a kind of industrial and farmland place.

When I went to college, I wasn't interested in fashion anymore - I was interested in art.

That's how I taught myself how to draw - tracing the ads and petting new clothes on the models.

I would just sketch everything that was being made for the collections.

Columbus did not seek a new route to the Indies in response to a majority directive.

This is largely the methodology I've used throughout my career - that is, starting with a question as to what might be the properties of a set of compounds that could be invented which were unusual and unpredictable. Many times I've felt a bit like Columbus setting sail.

Nay, be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, opening new channels, not of trade, but of thought.

Twenty years ago I wanted to move to a nice place so our Charley would grow up a nice boy and learn a profession. But instead we live in a jungle, so he can only be a wild animal. D'you think I picked the East Side like Columbus picked America?

Chris Columbus was really interesting to watch how he works with children.

Columbus only discovered that he was in some new place. He didn't discover America.

Christopher Columbus, as everyone knows, is honored by posterity because he was the last to discover America.

I also hate those holidays that fall on a Monday where you don't get mail, those fake holidays like Columbus Day. What did Christopher Columbus do, discover America? If he hadn't, somebody else would have and we'd still be here. Big deal.

When that book came out, it was like Columbus telling about America at the court of Ferdinand and Isabella.

In all parts of the Old World, as well as of the New, it was evident that Columbus had kindled a fire in every mariner's heart. That fire was the harbinger of a new era, for it was not to be extinguished.

When we first broke into that forbidden box in the other dimension, we knew we had discovered something as surprising and powerful as the New World when Columbus came stumbling onto it.

Do you want Columbus to go across the ocean, or do you want to put a message in a bottle and hope that it lands somewhere? I'd rather have actual people be there. Whether they look like Americans or like the inhabitants of some other country, depends on who has the most drive.

Imagination has brought mankind through the dark ages to its present state of civilization. Imagination led Columbus to discover America. Imagination led Franklin to discover electricity.

There are even more statues of Robert Burns than of any other figure in world literature. Indeed if we discount figures of religion, then only Christopher Columbus has more statues than he worldwide.

But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

If Columbus had an advisory committee he would probably still be at the dock.

If America had been discovered as many times as I have, no one would remember Columbus.

The American who first discovered Columbus made a bad discovery.

The only history is a mere question of one's struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.

What a pity, when Christopher Columbus discovered America, that he ever mentioned it.

I grew up in Columbus, Indiana, a kind of industrial and farmland place.

You can feel as brave as Columbus starting for the unknown the first time you enter a Chinese lane full of boys laughing at you, or when you risk climbing down in a Tibetan pub for a meal of rotten meat.

Whenever I played Columbus, Ohio, I dropped in to see my close friend, a medium who had mysterious powers. Her Indian guide was Mohawk.

My goals are for the U.S. team to get to the second round of the World Cup and to win a championship here in the U.S. with my club team the Columbus Crew.

Why is it that many contemporary male thinkers, especially men of color, repudiate the imperialist legacy of Columbus but affirm dimensions of that legacy by their refusal to repudiate patriarchy?

Marriage commissioners who choose not to marry homosexuals are being fired. A Knights of Columbus chapter in British Columbia is in court because it chooses not allow a lesbian group to use its facility for marriage ceremonies. The list goes on.

I got into psychology simply because that's what my sister did, and I grew up in a family that was very, like, 'Follow your sister's footsteps.' I went to the same school she went to, did the same degree she did... really had no interest in it, to be honest.

Every generation is inculcated in traditions of prejudice which are encouraged as normal natural and healthy.

The Moon Artemis the great goddess of the splendid past of men Are you going to tell me she is a dead lump

Fortune is like glass the brighter the glitter the more easily broken.

When someone asks about a career in fashion, I say start at the bottom. If you want to start a business, you have to know it from the ground up.

Create each day anew.

Words are also actions, and actions are a kind of words.
