I only had two dollars, and the drinks cost two something. So I was waiting at the bar for my friend, realizing my time was short. He turned up and asked me to sit with everybody in the back - Chuck Wein and Andy [Warhol] and Edie [Sedgewick]; they were having a dinner party because Edie had been on the Johnny Carson show that night. When they went back to the Factory, I went with them, and I stayed for three years. Most people didn't know I lived there, because I was taking speed - I figured if I took speed, I wouldn't be paranoid - and I only slept about twice or three times a year. That was enough rest....It was restful to be in one position knowing I wouldn't have to move right away. I put together a motorcycle for Andy. He gave me that name, Paul America.
