• Si quieres un buen bolso y unas buenas gafas, es difícil conseguir algo que no lleve el nombre de la marca porque es muy importante que lleve la inscripción encantada. La única manera de hacerlo... Este bolso era el único en la tienda sin una inscripción encantada. Es sólo un bolso ordinario. Fui a los grandes almacenes de Sloane Square, porque necesitaba un bolso nuevo, ya que el viejo había perdido las asas. Encontré éste y le pregunté: "¿Por qué es tan barato?", y el vendedor me respondió: "¡Porque no tiene nombre!".

• Tuve muchos trabajos, porque quería ser actor, y tenía la mala costumbre de querer comer regularmente. Así que tenía que ganar dinero en algún sitio. Hice de todo, desde reponedor en unos grandes almacenes Alexander's hasta repartidor de flores, mensajero, dependiente en una tienda de comestibles o empleado en una gasolinera. Incluso trabajé en Macy's desempolvando abrigos de piel durante dos semanas.

• Curiously, ghosts are rarely if ever seen in the nude. They appear fully clothed, and may even change clothing on subsequent appearances. They may change their form, to appear as they looked at different stages of their lives.

• Large department stores, with their luxuriant abundance of canned goods, foods, and clothing, are like the primary landscape and the geometrical locus of affluence. Streets with overcrowded and glittering store windowsthe displays of delicacies, and all the scenes of alimentary and vestimentary festivity, stimulate a magical salivation. Accumulation is more than the sum of its products: the conspicuousness of surplus, the final and magical negation of scarcitymimic a new-found nature of prodigious fecundity.

• The person I love would never wear fur. Fur just makes me think of shallow women who have no conscience. The fur industry belongs to a time when people were selfish beyond belief. If you were some ancient tribal cheiftain, and there was not a department store nearby 350 years ago, I'd understand. But now, we have synthetic fibers,and it's not necessary. The elitism of fur makes me wanna puke.
