I mean, he was the ultimate example of great success wrapped around inner turmoil and emotional pain. #Quote by Bob Colacello

And therefore, I think she's a beauty, too, because I usually accept people on the basis of their self-images, because their self-images have more to do with the way they think than their objective-images do. #Quote by Andy Warhol
