Robert Mapplethorpe
  • My father wants me to be like my brother, but I can't be.

  • I would never have done what I'd done if I'd considered my father as somebody I wanted to please.

  • Happiness? No, it's not there for me.

  • This AIDS stuff is pretty scary. I hope I don't get it.

  • I just hope I can live long enough to see the fame.
