Quote

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
People need to be made more aware of the need to work at learning how to live because life is so quick and sometimes it goes away too quickly.
Andy Warhol
Image
People's fantasies are what give them problems. If you didn't have fantasies you wouldn't have problems because you'd just take whatever was there.
Andy Warhol
Image
If there's ever a problem, I film it and it's no longer a problem. It's a film.
Andy Warhol
Image
Being born is like being kidnapped. And then sold into slavery. People are working every minute. The machinery is always going. Even when you sleep.
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
What I was actually trying to do in my early movies was show how people can meet other people and what they can do and what they can say to each other. That was the whole idea: two people getting acquainted.

The Palace is a good theater, you can see from everywhere.
Andy Warhol
Image
Everybody does the same thing over and over again. I like to do the same thing every day.
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
I’m really afraid to feel happy because it never lasts
Andy Warhol
Image
I like to be the right thing in the wrong space and the wrong thing in the right space. But usually being the right thing in the wrong space and the wrong thing in the right space is worth it, because something funny always happens.
Andy Warhol
Image
What we're all looking for is someone who doesn't live there, just pays for it.
Andy Warhol
Image
I used to drink Coke all the time. It was so good. It gives you a lot of energy.
Andy Warhol
Image
Perception precedes reality.
Andy Warhol
Image
I like comedy, not violence, but violence is making a lot of money. But comedy is what I like.
Andy Warhol
Image
Think rich, look poor.
Andy Warhol
Image
My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person. People are only glamorous if you don't see them. Like the movies used to make people years ago. There is something about people on screen that makes them so special when you see them in person, they are so different and the whole illusion is gone.
Andy Warhol

The teachers liked me. In grade school, they make you copy pictures from books. I think the first one was Robert Louis Stevenson.
Andy Warhol
Image
The childlike, gum-chewing naivete, the glamour rooted in despair, the self-admiring carelessness, the perfected otherness, the wispiness, the shadowy, voyeuristic, vaguely sinister aura, the pale, soft-spoken magical presence, the skin and bones . . .

What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest.
