I used to go to Saks, I would go to Bergdorf, I would go to Barneys, I would go to thrift stores in SoHo.
I wasn't surprised to find myself in the back of Mr. Klein's store, wearing only my undershirt and panties, surrounded by sable.
If you go into a store, with a gun, and rob it, you have forfeited your right to not get shot
There were around 1,000 stores when I was made president.
The British model, which I've always thought was great, is that you do a TV show and then they sell it. Then you can buy it at the video stores forever, so it never went away. But American TV used to be if you had a show and it got cancelled, then it never existed. It was just this thing you heard about and you couldn't see it again. There is something so great about shows getting released and people getting to watch them over and over again. It definitely takes the sting out of it.
One of the things it was obvious you could do with an online store is have a much more complete selection.
I do a lot of vintage shopping. I love going to second-hand stores.
As far as outdoor work is concerned, a studio is only a garage; a place in which to store pictures and repair them, never a place in which to paint them.
The thing is, I don't want to be sold to when I walk into a store. I want to be welcomed.
I don't do shows. I don't have reviews. I'm not putting the clothes on every celebrity so that by the time they reach the store the customers are sick of seeing them.
L. A. 's large convenience stores are so big they can accommodate up to twenty armed robbers at one time.
This week Apple stores are holding free computer programming classes for children. Or as that's called in China, a job fair.
I loved the fact that I was suddenly no longer dependent on whether a store took out an ad in the right place, or on the word on the street.
If you're eight and you live in Los Angeles and everybody has toys and you go to a country that has a Marxist dictatorship and there are no toy stores and nobody speaks English and it's blazing hot every day and they only have fish, which you don't like, then you tend not to appreciate the cultural lessons you're learning.
When life gives you lemons, you exchange them at the store for something more edible.
My music was too religious for the rock and roll stores and too rock and roll for the religious stores.
If commodity prices are no longer going up then food prices in the grocery store will no longer go up, at some point.
There is something more profound than just real estate because the decline of retail is social. People don't go in small stores - that is a change that is happening in the consumer culture.
Like a one eyed cat peepin' in a seafood store.
The thing I'm obsessed with is really great bad paintings. I have a storage locker full of them and I want to give them their own museum. You don't even know who these artists are - you can buy them at garage sales, antique stores and places like that. They're brilliant because they were done with the intention of being great, but the artist sort of made a wrong turn. Some of them are hilarious and I can't get enough of them.
