Once you 'got' Pop, you could never see a sign again the same way again. And once you thought Pop, you could never see America the same way again.

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
I used to have the same lunch every day, for 20 years, I guess, the same thing over and over again.
Andy Warhol
Image
I want everybody to think alike. I think everybody should be a machine.
Andy Warhol
Image
Exposure and attention make a work famous - the more you talk about it, the more attention it gets, the more validity it achieves.
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.
Andy Warhol
Image
I broke something and realized I should break something once a week to remind me how fragile life is.
Andy Warhol
Image
I love Los Angeles. I love Hollywood. They're beautiful. Everybody's plastic, but I love plastic. I want to be plastic.

Traveling makes time go fast. So maybe traveling in space will give people time.

Everyone needs a fantasy.

I don't want to be smart, because being smart makes you depressed.
Andy Warhol
Image
You meet rich people and you hang around with them, and one night they've had a few drinks and they say 'I'll buy it!' Then they tell their friends, 'You must have this person's work, darling,' and that's all you need. That's all it takes. Get it?

Image
You'd be surprised how many people want to hang an electric chair on their living-room wall. Specially if the background color matches the drapes.
Andy Warhol
Image
An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.
Andy Warhol
Image
Everybody has their own America, and then they have pieces of a fantasy America that they think is out there but they can't see. So the fantasy corners of America seem so atmospheric because you 've pieced them together from scenes in movies and music and lines from books.

I learned that you actually have more power when you shut up.
Andy Warhol
Image
Actually, I jade very quickly. Once is usually enough. Either once only, or every day. If you do something once it’s exciting, and if you do it every day it’s exciting. But if you do it, say, twice or just almost every day, it’s not good any more.
Andy Warhol
Image
We live in an age when the traditional great subjects - the human form, the landscape, even newer traditions such as abstract expressionism - are daily devalued by commercial art.
Andy Warhol
Image
I never understood why when you died, you didn't just vanish, everything could just keep going on the way it was only you just wouldn't be there. 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.'

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

Reruns are my favorite things on TV.
