- Bill Bast, on what James Dean would have though about his icon status.



Jimmy and I started talking very personally. A couple of times before this I had seen him be cold or abrupt with people -  but these things aways ended in something causing pain for him. He was always putting people through a series of circus hoops before letting them get close. He was like Marlon: he ate people - consumed all they knew, their mannerisms, all he could use as an artist. Everyone was a source for his creativity. He really wanted to be a participant in life. But he was constantly fucking himself over by behavior designed to alienate people. -Phil Stern

I had always lived such a talented life. I studied violin, played in concerts, tap-danced on theatre stages but most of all I like art, to mold and create things with my hands. -James Dean
