I never understand how the lipstick business goes on because lipstick lasts forever.
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.
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.
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
In some circles where very heavy people think they have very heavy brains, words like charming and clever and pretty are all put-downs all the lighter things in life, which are the most important things, are put down.
Andy Warhol
Image
I don't want to be smart, because being smart makes you depressed.
Andy Warhol
Image
I just happen to like ordinary things. When I paint them, I don't try to make them extraordinary. I just try to paint them ordinary-ordina ry.
Andy Warhol
Image
The moment you label something, you take a step-I mean, you can never go back again to seeing it unlabelled.
Andy Warhol
Image
Since people are going to be living longer and getting older, they'll just have to learn how to be babies longer.
Andy Warhol

Bad taste makes the day go by faster.
Andy Warhol
Image
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
Image
The most exciting thing is not doing it. If you fall in love with someone and never do it, it's much more exciting.
Andy Warhol
Image
There is beauty in everything, Just not everybody sees it
Andy Warhol
Image
If you wear a wig, everybody notices. But if you then dye the wig, people notice the dye.
Andy Warhol
Image
Believe me... I've made a career out of being the right thing in the wrong space and the wrong thing in the right space. That's one thing... I really do know about.
Andy Warhol
Image
Those who talk about individuality the most are the ones who most object to deviation, and in a few years it may be the other way around. Some day everybody will just think what they want to think, and then everybody will probably be thinking alike that seems to be what is happening.
Andy Warhol
Image
When I got my first TV set, I stopped caring so much about having close relationships with other people.
Andy Warhol
Image
And your own life while it's happening to you never has any atmosphere until it's a memory.
Andy Warhol
Image
I think every painting should be the same size and the same color so they're all interchangeable and nobody thinks they have a better painting or a worse painting.... Besides even when the subject is different, people want the same painting.
Andy Warhol
Image
As soon as you stop wanting something you get it. I've found that to be absolutely axiomatic.
Andy Warhol
