I was influenced by him [Man Ray] as a person. Naturally, I knew his work because things were printed. But he didn't have the kind of presence that the presence became so big after he died. Because my friends had a painting by Man Ray, I think it was a gift to them. It was about four... it was about this long, of lips, of lips. That was just red lips on... this high, the painting, this long. So lips in the sky, you know, sky? Now, you see, they had that painting for a long time and they would have get maybe $3500 for it or something. When Man Ray died, that thing went to $40,000. And the poor bastard, all his life he never had $40,000. They were really, at times were starving, you know, if not for the friends who kept them going. But maybe there's a price on it, up there. And then three books came out on Man Ray and stuff like that. But you see how sad that is... all his life he has nothing. The minute he died, he became... well he would have been a wealthy man if he stayed alive. He would sell like that, you see? So... and he was a sweet person, sweet person. No fights, no problems. But say something stupid about contemporary art or something, then he'll get... he'll get to you heavy. So that's Man Ray a sweet person, you know? And Julie the drunk. That's a combination!
