Likey/No Likey

LikeyQuotes:

“Really, what is life about?  You get sick and die.  That’s it.  So you’ve just got to keep busy.”

The Andy Warhol Diaries, March 26, 1986

LikeyQuotes:

“Gary and I are gay, and we’ve been taught from a very young age to turn the beat around and that’s what we’re doing here. It’s not just a song, it’s a philosophy. Get with it, get on board.”

Brad Goreski

LikeyQuotes:

“My life as a teenager was so relentlessly foul that I still can’t believe I actually survived it. Perhaps I didn’t…”

Morrissey, from a great new Q&A on Rookie

Likey Quotes:

“The first part I played was in the Nativity play at school. I auditioned for an angel and didn’t get it. I auditioned for Mary and didn’t get it. So I made up the character of the sheep who sat next to the baby Jesus. I wore a calico head thing that my mom made, and I bleated through the whole thing and got my first laugh. And that was it—I was hooked. That became a metaphor for my whole career: Every time I’ve thought, Oh, I should be Mary, I somehow go and find something offbeat and different.”

Nicole Kidman, from W magazine’s Best Performances feature.

Likey Quotes:

“No, I don’t use Facebook. I absolutely don’t want to stay in touch with everybody in my past. I really believe in falling out of touch with people. There’s something very healthy about not seeing someone for three years, not knowing what they’re doing, running into them, and finding that they’re now utterly changed. You know, they have gray hair now and they’re divorced. If I was on Facebook, I would know all those things, and I don’t want to know them.”

Tina Brown

Likey Quotes:

“I know nothing about Twitter, and I can only roughly assess Facebook. Twitter seems useful in some ways because you are no longer at the mercy of press interpretation, but Facebook is too self-gratifying. You might think you have 900 friends, but it’s an illusion. You might as well live in a lighthouse off the Scottish highlands. People think that they are in touch because they print a few lines everyday, but to me it seems like the essence of loneliness.” ~Morrissey, in a new Q&A with The Herald Sun.

Likey Quotes:

“Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, So what. That’s one of my favorite things to say. So what.”

Andy Warhol

Likey Quotes:

“To me the most beautiful thing there is in another human is confidence.  And nothing says ‘I’m not confident’ as much as Botox.”

Paulina Porizkova in About Face: The Supermodels, Then and Now

Likey Quotes:

“Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say and not giving a damn.”

Gore Vidal
