“The most beautiful clothes that can dress a woman are the arms of the man she loves. But for those who haven’t had the fortune of finding this happiness, I am there.”
—Yves Saint Laurent
Richard heard about the roasting Peter O’Toole had been given by the critics back in London for his performance in Macbeth. O’Toole told me, ‘Rich phoned me from Chicago and said he’d heard about the reviews, and he said, “How are the houses?” I said “Packed.” He said, “My boy, just remember that you’re the most original actor to come out of Britain since the war. Fuck the critics.” I said “Thank you.” Then he said, “Just think of every four letter word and twelve letter expletive and ram them all up their envious arses in which, I am sure, there is ample room.” I said “Thank you, Rich.” Then he said “I love you, Peter,” and I said, “It’s mutual.”
“I lie awake at night to wait ‘til you come in
You stay a little while and then you’re gone again
Every question that I ask, I get a lie, lie, lie
For every lie you tell, you’re gonna cry, cry, cry” —Johnny Cash, Cry, Cry, Cry
You stay a little while and then you’re gone again
Every question that I ask, I get a lie, lie, lie
For every lie you tell, you’re gonna cry, cry, cry” —Johnny Cash, Cry, Cry, Cry
