• When I made my first film, Basquiat, I think one of the criticisms was that the way I work is episodic. Later, as people started to look at the movies, they started to realize that maybe that's my style. If I could do it better or another way, I guess I would.

• I feel when you walk into somebody's apartment on Fifth Avenue or house in Malibu and you see a Basquiat, a Warhol, a Richard Prince, you say to yourself, '$700,000, $2.2 million, $350,000...' To me that is completely uninteresting. I'd rather go to a house where there's great art and I have no idea who the work is by.

• Kurt Cobain Tuvo una sobredosis de heroína antes de suicidarse, pero también una sobredosis de fama. Cobain era como Basquiat: Ambos querían ser famosos, y eran lo suficientemente brillantes como para conseguirlo. ¿Pero después qué? Los drogadictos se suicidan intentando recuperar esa sensación que les produjo su primer subidón, buscando una experiencia que nunca volverán a tener. En su nota de suicidio, Cobain se preguntaba: "¿Por qué no lo disfrutas?" y luego respondía: "¡No lo sé!". Es asombroso lo que puede llegar a ser el éxito.
