More quotes by Andy Warhol

Image
People sometimes say that the way things happen in the movies is unreal, but actually, it's the way things happen to you in life that's unreal. The movies make emotions look strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it's like you're watching television -- you don't feel anything.
Andy Warhol
Image
Uptown is for people who have already done something. Downtown is where they’re doing something now. I live uptown but I love downtown.
Andy Warhol
Image
Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.
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.

I don't believe people die. They just go uptown. To Bloomingdales. They just take longer to get back.

Everybody has their own America, and then they have pieces of a fantasy America that they think is out there but they can't see. So the fantasy corners of America seem so atmospheric because you 've pieced them together from scenes in movies and music and lines from books.

Being born is like being kidnapped. And then sold into slavery.
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
I wake up every morning. I open my eyes and think: here we go again.
Andy Warhol
Image
I met someone on the street who said wasn't it great that we're going to have a movie star for president, that it was so Pop, and (laughs) when you think about it like that, it is great, it's so American.

Everyone needs a fantasy.

Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.
Andy Warhol
Image
In the early days of film, fans used to idolize a whole star - they would take one star and love everything about that star ... Today people can idolize a star in one area and forget about him in another. A big rock star might sell millions and millions of records, but then if he makes a bad movie ... forget it.

I think somebody should be able to do all my paintings for me.

The Palace is a good theater, you can see from everywhere.

I just [take pictures] because the camera is something to carry around in my pocket.
Andy Warhol
Image
Paintings are too hard. The things I want to show are mechanical. Machines have less problems. I'd like to be a machine, wouldn't you?
Andy Warhol
Image
So many people have so many problems. When you think that health is wealth, you're so grateful just to be normal, more or less. Aren't you?
Andy Warhol

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