Quote of the day: Fran Lebowitz on wants vs needs

“I’m very materialistic. Unfortunately, I am also very uninterested in money, so it’s a horrible combination. I have more Anderson & Sheppard suits and jackets than I should. More than I could really afford.

Of course, you don’t actually need any of these things, and I have more than I need. That doesn’t mean that I have more than I want, since I seem to be the only American who knows the difference between desire and need. But I enjoy the whole process. There is nothing that I like more than to spend hours looking through swatches.

I love deciding between 17 shades of grey.”

The inimitable writer, Fran Lebowitz talks about her Anderson & Sheppard fetish in How to Spend It.
