Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?
Andy Warhol
Image
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

I've never met a person I've couldn't call a beauty.

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

And your own life while it's happening to you never has any atmosphere until it's a memory.

It's great not to be a collector.
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.
Andy Warhol
Image
I wish I hadn't made so many images.
Andy Warhol
Image
Most people in America think Art is a man's name.
Andy Warhol
Image
I think the first photograph I did was a ballplayer. It was a way of showing action or something.
Andy Warhol
Image
I wonder if it's possible to have a love affair that lasts forever.
Andy Warhol
Image
I'll bet there are a lot of artists that nobody hears about who just make more money than anybody. The people that do all the sculptures and paintings for big building construction. We never hear about them, but they make more money than anybody.
Andy Warhol
Image
I want to be a machine.
Andy Warhol
Image
I think they should have movies in restaurants. I can't believe that so many people get together just to sit there. It's so abstract... isn't it abstract? What are these people sitting here watching?
Andy Warhol
Image
Everybody does the same thing over and over again. I like to do the same thing every day.
Andy Warhol
Image
I'm bored with that line. I never use it anymore. My new line is 'In 15 minutes everybody will be famous.'
Andy Warhol
Image
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.
