Quote

I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of 'work,' because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don't always want to do. The machinery is always going. Even when you sleep.

Andy Warhol

It would be very glamorous to be reincarnated as a great big ring on Liz Taylor's finger.
Andy Warhol
Image
When I look at things, I always see the space they occupy. I always want the space to reappear, to make a comeback, because it's lost space when there's something in it.
Andy Warhol
Image
Switzerland is my favorite place now, because it's so - nothing. There is absolutely nothing to do.
Andy Warhol
Image
Everything will be art and nothing will be art, because everything, as I believe, already is.

I'm confused about who the news belongs to. I always have it in my head that if your name's in the news, then the news should be paying you. Because it's your news and they're taking it and selling it as their product. ...If people didn't give the news their news, and if everybody kept their news to themselves, the news wouldn't have any news.
Andy Warhol

The biggest price you pay for love is that you have to have somebody around, you can't be on your own, wich is always so much better.
Andy Warhol
Image
You have to hang on in periods when your style isn't popular, because if it's good, it'll come back, and you'll be a recognized beauty once again.
Andy Warhol
Image
They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
Andy Warhol
Image
As soon as you stop wanting something you get it. I've found that to be absolutely axiomatic.
Andy Warhol
Image
My style was always to spread out rather than to move up.
Andy Warhol
Image
I'm for mechanical art. When I took up silk screening, it was to more fully exploit the preconceived image through the commercial techniques of multiple reproduction.
Andy Warhol
Image
Sex is more exciting on the screen and between the pages than between the sheets.
Andy Warhol

The Palace is a good theater, you can see from everywhere.
Andy Warhol
Image
I always thought I'd like my own tombstone to be blank. No epitaph, and no name. Well, actually, I'd like it to say 'figment.'
Andy Warhol
Image
I loved working when I worked at commercial art and they told you what to do and how to do it and all you had to do was correct it and they'd say yes or no. The hard thing is when you have to dream up the tasteless things to do on your own.
Andy Warhol

People are always so boring when they band together. You have to be alone to develop all the idiosyncrasies that make a person interesting.

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.
