I'm seeking out a new way to live and if it's surfing, that's the way I'll do it. I'll be a surfer for the rest of my life.
Andy Warhol
Image
I think kids should go to high school until they're 30. No, really, because people are staying younger now and there's nothing to do. If you stayed longer, then it would be really great.
Andy Warhol
Image
I am a deeply superficial person.
Andy Warhol
Image
I've never met a person I've couldn't call a beauty.
Andy Warhol
Image
During the 1960s, I think, people forgot what emotions were supposed to be. And I don't think they've ever remembered.
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'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
Image
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.

The best museum is Bloomingdales.

Publicity is like eating peanuts. Once you start you can’t stop.

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

Why do people spend their time being sad when they could be happy?
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

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

Sociological critics are waste makers.
Andy Warhol
Image
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
Image
I think it would be great to make a $2 million or $3 million art movie where nobody would really have to go to it. I thought that would be a good project to work on . . . do something really artistic.
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
I really believe in empty spaces, although, as an artist, I make a lot of junk. Empty space is never-wasted space. Wasted space is any space that has art in it. An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have but that he, for some reason, thinks it would be a good idea to give them.

I don't want to be smart, because being smart makes you depressed.
