Jean-Michel Basquiat preparing for his first London show, The Times of Basquiat at the I.C.A. Gallery, December 1984.

How you live your life is your business. Just remember, our hearts and our bodies are given to us only once. And before you know it, your heart’s worn out. And as for your body, there comes a point when no one looks at it, much less wants to come near it. Right now there’s sorrow, pain. Don’t kill it, and with it the joy you felt.
