A friend of mine always says, ‘Women love me for the man I’m not.’

That's the hard part of overdosing on cherries-you have all the pits to tell you exactly how many you ate. Not more or less. Exactly. One-seed fruits really bother me for that reason. That's why I'd always rather eat raisins than prunes. Prune pits are even more imposing than cherry pits.

Every song has a memory every song has the ability to make or break your heart, shut down the heart, and open the eyes. But I’m afraid if you look at a thing long enough it loses all of its meaning

The symptom of love is when some of the chemicals inside you go bad. So there must be something in love because your chemicals do tell you something.
Andy Warhol
Image
I don't believe people die. They just go uptown. To Bloomingdales. They just take longer to get back.

Image
I used to drink Coke all the time. It was so good. It gives you a lot of energy.
Andy Warhol
Image
All photography is Pop, and all photographers are crazy... they feel guilty since they don't have to do very much - just push a button.
Andy Warhol
Image
The pop artists did images that anybody walking down Broadway could recognize in a split second — comics, picnic tables, men’s trousers, celebrities, shower curtains, refrigerators, Coke bottles. All the great modern things that the Abstract Expressionists tried not to notice at all.
Andy Warhol
Image
People's fantasies are what give them problems. If you didn't have fantasies you wouldn't have problems because you'd just take whatever was there.
Andy Warhol
Image
Empty space is never-wasted space. Wasted space is any space that has art in it.
Andy Warhol
Image
I get so tired of painting. I've been trying to give it up all the time, if we could just make a living out of movies or the newspaper business or something. It's so boring, painting the same picture over and over.

I think everybody should like everybody.
