I'm a deeply superficial person.
Andy Warhol
Image
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.
Andy Warhol
Image
I've been invited to the White House about five times. I think the greatest thing would be if they actually invited everybody to the White House every night... they'd just take about 500 people a night. Everybody would just love this country because it's so thrilling to go there. It really is.
Andy Warhol
Image
Living in New York City gives people real incentives to want things that nobody else wants.
Andy Warhol
Image
I do the same thing everyday. I go to work and paint. I try to turn out as many pictures as I can.
Andy Warhol

The interviewer should just tell me the words he wants me to say and I’ll repeat them after him. I think that would be so great because I’m so empty I just can’t think of anything to say.

It's the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look how you feel about it.
Andy Warhol
Image
Sometimes something can look beautiful just because it's different in some way from the other things around it. One red petunia in a window box will look very beautiful if all the rest of them are white, and vice-versa.
Andy Warhol
Image
I am a deeply superficial person.
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
[My vision of America is] a good vision. Actually the best is on TV. I wanted to shoot all the pictures off the TV. No one would have known the difference.
Andy Warhol
Image
You could never be an adolescent if you don't look like one.
Andy Warhol
Image
I'm bored with that line. I never use it anymore. My new line is 'In 15 minutes everybody will be famous.'
Andy Warhol
Image
Perception precedes reality.
Andy Warhol
Image
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.
Andy Warhol
Image
You have to do stuff that average people don't understand because those are the only good things.
Andy Warhol
