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

More quotes by Andy Warhol
Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, So what. That's one of my favorite things to say. So what.
Andy Warhol
Money has a certain kind of amnesty.
Andy Warhol
My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person. People are only glamorous if you don't see them. Like the movies used to make people years ago. There is something about people on screen that makes them so special when you see them in person, they are so different and the whole illusion is gone.
Andy Warhol
I can't remember my dreams more than a couple of seconds after I wake up. It's frustrating because sometimes I dream that I'm watching a really good movie.
Andy Warhol
I love the English language just like I love all American things. But I confess that I don't feel confident using complex sentences or big words, hence my famous minimally expressive style - all the gees and laconic answers to interviewers. Most of all, I have developed listening as an art form.
Andy Warhol
I'd asked around 10 or 15 people for suggestions. Finally one lady friend asked the right question, 'Well, what do you love most?' That's how I started painting money.
Andy Warhol
I like to work when I'm not working - do something that may not be considered work, but to me it's work. Getting exercise by going to the grocery store.
Andy Warhol
The lobbies are always the best-looking place in the hotel-you wish you could bring out a cot and sleep in them. Compared to the lobby, your room always looks like a closet.
Andy Warhol
Kiss me with your eyes.
Andy Warhol
There are beautiful sounds in rock. Very lazy, dreamlike noises. You can forget about the lyrics in most songs. Just dig the noise, and you've got your sound...We're musical primitives.
Andy Warhol
I think video is the best market. When the cassette market comes out, if you just do movies that nobody else can do, that'll be the new way.
Andy Warhol
I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.
Andy Warhol
The childlike, gum-chewing naivete, the glamour rooted in despair, the self-admiring carelessness, the perfected otherness, the wispiness, the shadowy, voyeuristic, vaguely sinister aura, the pale, soft-spoken magical presence, the skin and bones . . .
Andy Warhol
New things are always better than old things.
Andy Warhol
Switzerland is my favorite place now, because it's so - nothing. There is absolutely nothing to do.
Andy Warhol
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
I want to die with my blue jeans on.
Andy Warhol
But I always say, one's company, two's a crowd, and three's a party
Andy Warhol
When people are ready to, they change. They never do it before then, and sometimes they die before they get around to it. You can't make them change if they don't want to, just like when they do want to, you can't stop them.
Andy Warhol
It's great not to be a collector.
Andy Warhol
