Quote

An artist is someone 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.

More quotes by Andy Warhol

Image
The President has so much good publicity potential that hasn't been exploited. He should just sit down one day and make a list of all the things that people are embarrassed to do that they shouldn't be embarrassed to do, and then do them all on television.
Andy Warhol
Image
Brigitte Bardot was one of the first women to be really modern and treat men like love objects, buying them and discarding them. I like that.
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 don't know where the artificial stops and the real starts.
Andy Warhol
Image
My instinct about painting says, 'if you don't think about it, it's right.' As soon as you have to decide and choose, it's wrong. And the more you decide about, the more wrong it gets.
Andy Warhol
Image
All photography is Pop, and all photographers are crazy... they feel guilty since they don't have to do very much - just push a button.
Andy Warhol
Image
(You wouldn't believe how many people will hang up a picture of an electric chair? especially if it matches the color of their curtains.

Sex is more exciting on the screen and between the pages than between the sheets.

I love going out every night. It’s so exciting.

Money has a certain kind of amnesty.
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
Everybody does the same thing over and over again. I like to do the same thing every day.
Andy Warhol
Image
Rodeo Drive is a giant butterscotch sundae.
Andy Warhol
Image
It would be very glamorous to be reincarnated as a great big ring on Liz Taylor's finger.
Andy Warhol
Image
I just do art because I’m ugly and there’s nothing else for me to do.
Andy Warhol
Image
The girls in California were probably prettier in a standard sense than the New York girls--blonder and in better health, I guess but I still preferred the way the girls in New York looked--stranger and more neurotic (a girl always looked more beautiful and fragile when she was about to have a nervous breakdown).
Andy Warhol

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

I think somebody should be able to do all my paintings for me.
Andy Warhol
Image
When I did my self-portrait, I left all the pimples out because you always should. Pimples are a temporary condition and they don't have anything to do with what you really look like. Always omit the blemishes-they're not part of the good picture you want.

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