Quote

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.

So many people seem to prefer my silver-screenings of movie stars to the rest of my work. It must be the subject matter that attracts them, because my death and violence paintings are just as good.
Andy Warhol
Image
Pop art is for everyone.
Andy Warhol
Image
I love going out every night. It’s so exciting.
Andy Warhol
Image
I wake up every morning. I open my eyes and think: here we go again.
Andy Warhol
Image
Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art
Andy Warhol
Image
I'd asked around 10 or 15 people for suggestions. Finally one lady friend asked the right question, 'Well, what do you love most?' That's how I started painting money.
Andy Warhol
Image
I smoke pot because I want to go to heaven before I die
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 more you look at the same exact thing, the more the meaning goes away, and the better and emptier you feel.
Andy Warhol
Image
Buying is more American than thinking, and I'm as American as they come.
Andy Warhol
Image
I'll bet there are a lot of artists that nobody hears about who just make more money than anybody.
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
Image
We live in an age when the traditional great subjects - the human form, the landscape, even newer traditions such as abstract expressionism - are daily devalued by commercial art.
Andy Warhol
Image
I'd rather do new stuff. The old stuff is better to talk about than to see. It always sounds better than it really is.
Andy Warhol
Image
Maybe the reason my memory is so bad is that I always do at least two things at once. It's easier to forget something you only half-did or quarter did.
Andy Warhol
Image
Publicity is like eating peanuts. Once you start you can’t stop.
Andy Warhol
Image
Empty space is never-wasted space. Wasted space is any space that has art in it.
Andy Warhol
Image
I read an article on me once that described my machine-method of silk-screen copying and painting: 'What a bold and audacious solution, what depths of the man are revealed in this solution!' What does that mean?
Andy Warhol
Image
I used to have the same lunch every day, for 20 years, I guess, the same thing over and over again.
Andy Warhol
Image
I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of 'work,' because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don't always want to do. The machinery is always going. Even when you sleep.
