I turn people into human beings by not making them into gods.
When people ask me silly questions about my private life, I just say, I don't discuss that.
Everybody who does anything for the public can be criticized. There's always someone who doesn't like it.
Oh, you ask me, what is the greatest torture of a person who does portraits for a living? I could fill several volumes with nice nasty stories. I don't know.
I don't love the world. I think Jupiter should have hit us.
Some people say to me, Isn't it too bad that people discovered you so late? I never thought that.
I don't talk about success. I don't know what it is. Wait until I'm dead.
You see, I became kind of a drop-out in science after I came back to America.
When I need names they drop out of my head; when I don't need them they drop back.
I'd never kill myself for a man. I wouldn't do it for anybody.
