WHAT I WANT IN MY SOCK (NOT MY STOCKING! I DON'T WEAR THEM!)
WHAT IS MY HEART'S DESIRE?
My Favorite (Cheap) Chocolate: Hershey's Dark and Hersheys Chocolate with Almonds. (However I'm open to Chocolate Swiss.)
My Favorite Gum: I've been trying all the new chewing gums in their newly designed artistic packages but ORBIT brand in WATERMELON or CITRUS is the best! (It turns out 20 minutes of chewing after each meal really is good for your teeth and digestion!)
My Favorite Nut Candy: Pastel Jordon Almonds.
My Favorite Fruit: Oranges. These are perfect!
A GOLD COIN - much better than a half penny though a half penny will do.
MY LONG LOST RING RETURNED MYSTERIOUSLY (Perhaps an apportation!)
A LOVE LETTER (It must be sincere!)
All the money that is owed to me by various scoundrels (including intellectual property thieves) so I can pay off all my own debts.
A year's supply of Indian incense.

ANDY WARHOL From I'LL BE YOUR MIRROR
In Vogue magazine March 1970
KENT: Do your films ever have scripts and plots?
WARHOL (smiling) Sometimes. Half a page, a paragraph. But, mainly, the stars improvise their own dialogue. Somehow, we attract people who can turn themselves on in front of the camera. In a sense, they're really superstars. It's much harder, you know, to be your own script than to memorize someone else's. Anyhow, scripts bore me. It's much more exciting not to know what's going to happen...
I don't think plot is important. If you see a movie, say, of two people talking, you can watch it over and over again without being bored. You get involved --- you miss things ---you come back to it---you see new things. But you can't see the same movie 0ver and over again if it has a plot because you already know the ending.
KENT: But isn't improvisational movie making a matter of luck, depending upon the resources of the people who are doing the improvising?
WARHOL: (Fervidly, as if his own voice had revealed a mystery) : Everyone is rich. Everyone and everything is interesting. Years ago, people used to sit looking out of their windows at the street. Or on a park bench. They would stay for hours without being bored although nothing much was going on. This is my favorite theme in movie making ---just watching something happening for two hours or so.
