Exposure and attention make a work famous - the more you talk about it, the more attention it gets, the more validity it achieves.
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
Now and then, someone would accuse me of being evil - of letting people destroy themselves while I watched, just so I could film them and tape-record them. But I didn't think of myself as evil - just realistic.
Andy Warhol
Image
I never understand how the lipstick business goes on because lipstick lasts forever.
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'd rather do new stuff. The old stuff is better to talk about than to see. It always sounds better than it really is.

If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There's nothing behind it.

I smoke pot because I want to go to heaven before I die

The girls in California were probably prettier in a standard sense than the New York girls--blonder and in better health, I guess but I still preferred the way the girls in New York looked--stranger and more neurotic (a girl always looked more beautiful and fragile when she was about to have a nervous breakdown).
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
Image
Dying is the most embarrassing thing that can ever happen to you, because someone's got to take care of all your details.
Andy Warhol
Image
I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.
Andy Warhol
Image
But I always say, one's company, two's a crowd, and three's a party

Success is when the checks don’t bounce.
Andy Warhol
Image
I'm for mechanical art. When I took up silk screening, it was to more fully exploit the preconceived image through the commercial techniques of multiple reproduction.
Andy Warhol
Image
I love the English language just like I love all American things. But I confess that I don't feel confident using complex sentences or big words, hence my famous minimally expressive style - all the gees and laconic answers to interviewers. Most of all, I have developed listening as an art form.
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
I admit to having worn suede and leather pants myself for a while, but you just never feel clean, and it's degenerate, anyway, to wear animal skins.... So I went back to bluejeans after my degenerate period.

Andy Warhol: I think everybody should like everybody. Gene Swenson: Is that what Pop Art is all about? Andy Warhol: Yes, it's liking things.
