If there's ever a problem, I film it and it's no longer a problem. It's a film.

The idea of America is so wonderful because the more equal something is, the more American it is
Andy Warhol

I think the first photograph I did was a ballplayer. It was a way of showing action or something.
Andy Warhol

Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there - I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life. Right when I was being shot and ever since, I knew that I was watching television.
