“I trust people who are violent about art, as long as they aren't closed-minded. But, unfortunately, most art blowhards are also art bigots.”
― Vincent Price, I Like What I Know: A Visual Autobiography

“The follower of fashion can be as honest as the leader of the rebellion against it.”
― Vincent Price, The Vincent Price Treasury of American Art

“I blew my nose, blotted my eyes, buried as much of my face as I could in my handkerchief, and blurted out a feeble: "Sorry...something in my eye." The voice said: "Yes...beauty.”
― Vincent Price, I Like What I Know: A Visual Autobiography

“I'm extremely profane, unconsciously so, when I see something great for the first time; I don't know why, but beauty and profanity are related to me in the same way. It may be that I want to think of art in the vernacular, but I have no control over what comes out of my mouth when my eyes take in great beauty...it might just be the reason I avoid going to museums with elderly ladies.”
