1 " Everything that happened to me has been a paradox for life. The very things that I should have done would have been the trap… I believed in something else. You have to work like mad to make people understand… Even if I don’t make it, you know, I really insist on believing, and then I fall off the edge because there’s nobody else to follow it. "
― Edie Sedgwick
2 " If all I cared about was me, I could make a million. And that’s what they will never understand. "
3 " It's not that I'm rebelling. It's that I'm just trying to find another way. "
4 " I do love Alice in Wonderland though. That’s something I think I could do very well. Don’t you think we ought to do an A.W.? A.W.’s Alice in Wonderland? Andy Warhol’s Alice in Wonderland? A.W. stands for a lot of things, I understand. It would make a fantastic film, so I wanted somebody to write the script for it in a modern sense. I think it would be the most marvelous movie in the world if it could be done, don’t you think? Really, I don’t think they’ve done one since they did a Walt Disney one - which isn’t really doing it. In a sense it is, but not in the way it really should be done. What’s needed right now is a real scene. I mean not just cartoon characters, but the actual character of people because there’s so many fantastic people that you might as well use the people. "
5 " I want to reach people and express myself. You have to put up with the risk of being misunderstood if you are going to try to communicate. You have to put up with people projecting their own ideas, attitudes, misunderstanding you. But it's worth being a public fool if that's all you can be in order to communicate yourself. "
6 " I’m in love with everyone I’ve ever met in one way or another. I’m just a crazy, unhinged disaster of a human being. "
7 " I had fun, but I really didn't have anyone I particularly loved. And I still don't, except for loving friends. But I mean I haven't been in love with anyone for years and years... but I have a certain amount of faith that it will come. "
8 " I say death a lot… it means I’m concerned with life. "
9 " I just believe that you live alone, creating your life as you go. "
