Edie Sedgwick quotes
I lived a very isolated life. When you start at 20, you have a lot of nonsense to work out of your system.
Edie Sedgwick
I'm afraid of habit patterns...It would be too much of a routine if you had to establish definite ways of getting through things. You'd get very bored.
Edie Sedgwick
In the year 2000 you're going to have a problem....Leisure time will be a problem in the year 2000. I just want you to realize, I just want to make sure that you know of it now.
Edie Sedgwick
If all I cared about was me, I could make a million. And that's what they will never understand.
Edie Sedgwick
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.
Edie Sedgwick
You live alone, creating your life as you go.
Edie Sedgwick
Fashion as a whole is a farce, completely. The people behind it are perverted, the styles are created by freaked out people, just natural weirdos. I know this because I worked with all those people while I was modeling.
Edie Sedgwick
I have an accident about every two years, and one day it won't be an accident!
Edie Sedgwick
I think something very weird's going on now, 'cause the power that is permitted to youth is quite extraordinary. And they are sort of run by that kind of power.
Edie Sedgwick
It's not that I'm rebelling. It's that I'm just trying to find another way.
Edie Sedgwick
I came to New York to see what I could see - that's from a children's book, isn't it? - and to find the living part.
Edie Sedgwick
When I started going around with Andy people thought I had a press agent. I didn't. After a while I got sort of paranoid about all the publicity, and I holed up in my apartment and cut off the telephone for two months. I saw only two people. Then I felt ready to go out again. I want to do more acting. I like it, but it's hard - the long hours, getting the lines straight, I didn't have to do that with Andy.
Edie Sedgwick
I had no money. My parents closed down all credit. I couldn't get any money, and they were trying to lock me up again because I'd taken some acid and told my psychiatrist about it. I just told him what the experience was like and he jumped, and at the same time he read about Andy Warhol's "pornographic" movies in Time. I was in the studio a lot, so my psychiatrist got really upset and called my parents and was gonna have me put away, so I ran away to Europe with Andy and Chuck.
Edie Sedgwick
Isn't that sad! I'm so fragile. It's tragic [laughs]. Can you believe it? That's so sad.
Edie Sedgwick
It's not going to interfere with the film. I heal miraculously. I've been in an auto accident and another fire. They thought I'd need plastic surgery, but I haven't a scar...No, I don't think I'm accident prone, but it's strange.
Edie Sedgwick
It's frightening and glamorous and exciting at the same time. I wouldn't change it for anything! After the bad and sad times in my life, it's something I want to do.
Edie Sedgwick
I'm out of my mind! Somebody told me that a long time ago. Some idiot! [laughs] ... In a dream. I don't want to think about dreams now.
Edie Sedgwick
It's okay - I know.
Edie Sedgwick
I think drugs are like strawberries. That was something I was very much a part of, but at the same time there's that incredible nightmare paranoia... it drives human beings crazy. It frightened me to see it around me... I had everything that could be moves stolen by speed freaks. Things began to disappear. The Queen Bee Speedfreaks and Amphetamine Annie had found out where my apartment was. All my jewelry was stolen and all my expensive clothes. Dior, Balenciaga... just tons of originals. By the way, have you heard anything about my furs? Everybody's wearing them.
Edie Sedgwick
I act this way because that's the way I feel like acting. If people like it, fine. If they don't, that's their problem.
Edie Sedgwick
I moved out to Santa Barbara to straighten out, supposedly, and I started using drugs, which I found were plentiful in Isla Vista, around the college campus - UCSB. And then I started rollicking around with all kinds of kids a lot younger than me. Anywhere from 15 to their 20s, but I was kind of in my late 20s. And, uh...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 in years and years. But I have a certain amount of faith that it'll come.
Edie Sedgwick
The way those sons-of-bitches took advantage of me. Warhol is a sadistic faggot.
Edie Sedgwick
