| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | [on Anita Pallenberg] I knew her since we were first hanging out in London with The Rolling Stones. She was a real nasty person. She would do anything to upset her girlfriends. I don't know her anymore. |
| 2 | I don't think about the future, I can't think further than tomorrow morning -- at the most. I leave that to somebody else. |
| 3 | (observing one of Andy Warhol's 1960s "happenings") It's like the Red Sea parting. |
| 4 | I'm a nihilist, so I like destruction. Nihilism seemed to be the most suitable religion since I started to think. |
| 5 | [on one of her experiences with Andy Warhol and The Velvet Underground] They also played the record of Bob Dylan's song, "I'll Keep It with Mine", because I didn't have enough to sing otherwise. I had to stand there and sing along with it. I had to do this every night for a week. It was the most stupid concert I have ever done. |
