More From Fran Lebowitz

If you have one article of clothing that's very expensive, you don't have to have the whole ensemble and look like a christmas tree. to wear the clothes, to not let them wear you. and to really remember that clothes are beautiful. it's like are you gonna wear something that people say: "oh that's a great blouse." or are you gonna wear something that people say: "oh you look great today.." .

A person who actually knows how to wear clothes...they would look good in any clothes. you see this especially at the academy awards. even if the dresses are beautiful and expensive and important, the actresses can't always carry them. sometimes i feel like saying to them, "act! you know how to act, you're an actor. you're about to win an award for, i don't know, convincingly playing that venezuelan nun who went to war. now act like you can wear this dress.".

Since we all came from a women, got our name from a women, and our game from a women. i wonder why we take from women, why we rape our women, do we hate our women? i think its time we killed for our women, be real to our women, try to heal our women, cus if we dont we'll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies, who make the babies. and since a man can't make one he has no right to tell a women when and where to create one

Mean Thinking Clothes
You see the one thing i've always maintained is that i'm an american indian. i'm not a native american. i'm not politically correct. everyone who's born in the western hemisphere is a native american. we are all native americans. and if you notice, i put american before my ethnicity. i'm not a hyphenated african-american or irish-american or jewish-american or mexican-american.

And, you know, politics aside, the success of sarah palin and women like her is good for all women - except, of course - those who will end up, you know, like, paying for their own rape 'kit 'n' stuff. but for everybody else, it's a win-win. unless you're a gay woman who wants to marry your partner of 20 years - whatever. but for most women, the success of conservative women is good for all of us. unless you believe in evolution. you know - actually, i take it back. the whole thing's a disaster.

One of the mistakes i made was believing that the rock 'n' roll genre as a genre was much more free than the whole pop or r&b scene.

You can't insure against the future, except by really believing in the best bit of you, and in the power beyond it.
Believe Bits
I find daily life not always joyous, but always interesting. i have some sad days and nights, but none that are dull. as i advance deeper into the vale of years, i live with constantly increasing gusto and excitement. i am sure it all means something; in the last analysis, i am an optimist because i believe in god. those who have no faith are quite naturally pessimists and i do not blame them.
Life Believe Mean
I refuse to turn to theology to justify the life or redeem it. there is a question always of the connection to the eternal. i say to myself above all, keep alive your conviction that there are sacred elements in the life in the practice of the life that must be respected. but the conviction in the existence of the sacred does not necessarily imply that you need to believe in a creator, because we are the ones that made the sacred.
