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

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.

I wanted to be in the FBI. I also wanted to be a pie salesman.

I am strong and healthy.

The Iranian people, with regards to the policies of various American administrations in the past 30 years, are very worried. They don't trust them.

I wasn't looking to get into TV. My family was in the movie business, so I was never interested in that world.

The young wants massive confidence. The wise avoids it.

When we label anyone 'bad', we will have more trouble dealing with him than if we could have settled fo a lesser label.

As a professional writer of detective stories, I string along with the ballplayers. I love a ball game.

Your strike will not win. You cannot be allowed to succeed.

I love being a student, if I could, I'd stay in school forever.

Probably the label 'Jesus freak' is fine with me. Because I know who I am.

That's what motherhood is: you're working; you're doing 25 different jobs, and you're not getting paid.

Why not just have fun with clothes? We should be more light-hearted about how we dress, how we look. If you experiment, you can go wrong, clearly; but you can have a wonderful time doing it!

The limits of sensory evolution in fish are defined very largely by their habitat. Water is physically supportive, carries some kinds of odour well, and is kind to sound - letting it travel several times faster than air will allow, but it inhibits other more personal kinds of communication.

Those who fight corruption should be clean themselves.

Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right.

I think of the Roundabout as my musical theater family here in New York City.

Well, I'm going to try to make a real difference in Washington's spending patterns.

I think I've lived a pretty hard life. What I mean by hard is that... I've been kind of reckless with things. I'm a passionate person. I'm a super passionate person. I think there's definitely been sorrow in my life, good and bad. I think it comes through. I hope it comes through in my writing because to me that's what artistry is.

The thing that I really look for in people is enthusiasm and excitement and, not to sound really sappy, that fire in their eyes.

In the spring at the end of the day you should smell like dirt.

Sometimes I get an idea for cinema. And when you get an idea that you fall in love with, this is a glorious day.

People are far more sincere and good humored at speeding their parting guests than on meeting them.

I am single and happy.

At a time when every series we're supposed to be DVR-ing is very important, very serious, has to do with heavy, heavy matters, I think 'Wet Hot' provides a respite to that DVR homework. It's totally the gummy bears of your programming.
