Quote

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.'

I've been invited to the White House about five times. I think the greatest thing would be if they actually invited everybody to the White House every night... they'd just take about 500 people a night. Everybody would just love this country because it's so thrilling to go there. It really is.

I’m really afraid to feel happy because it never lasts
Andy Warhol

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

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.

I always hear myself saying , 'She's a beauty!' or 'He's a beauty!' or 'What a beauty!' but I never know what I'm talking about.
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'd rather do new stuff. The old stuff is better to talk about than to see. It always sounds better than it really is.
Andy Warhol
Image
A picture means I know where I was every minute. That's why I take pictures. It's a visual diary.
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 used to think that everything was just being funny but now I don't know. I mean, how can you tell?
Andy Warhol
Image
The reason I'm painting this way is that I want to be a machine, and I feel that whatever I do and do machine-like is what I want to do.
Andy Warhol
Image
In the early days of film, fans used to idolize a whole star - they would take one star and love everything about that star ... Today people can idolize a star in one area and forget about him in another. A big rock star might sell millions and millions of records, but then if he makes a bad movie ... forget it.

Pelé is one of the few who contradicted my theory: instead of fifteen minutes of fame, he will have fifteen centuries.

What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest.
Andy Warhol
Image
I want everybody to think alike. I think everybody should be a machine.

Since people are going to be living longer and getting older, they'll just have to learn how to be babies longer.

The moment you label something, you take a step-I mean, you can never go back again to seeing it unlabelled.
Andy Warhol
Image
Now and then, someone would accuse me of being evil - of letting people destroy themselves while I watched, just so I could film them and tape-record them. But I didn't think of myself as evil - just realistic.

They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.

When the Woolworth's-Hot-Fudge-Sundae switch goes on, then I know I really have something.
