Why do people spend their time being sad when they could be happy?
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
I thought that young people had more problems than old people...Then I looked around and saw that everybody who looked young had young problems and that everybody who looked old had old problems.
Andy Warhol

The clothes of Courreges are so nice.
Andy Warhol

I never understand how the lipstick business goes on because lipstick lasts forever.
Andy Warhol
Image
I don't believe people die. They just go uptown. To Bloomingdales. They just take longer to get back.
Andy Warhol
Image
Switzerland is my favorite place now, because it's so - nothing. There is absolutely nothing to do.
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.
Andy Warhol
Image
You have to do stuff that average people don't understand because those are the only good things.
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.
Andy Warhol
Image
When I think about what sort of person I would most like to have on a retainer, I think it would be a boss. A boss who could tell me what to do, because that makes everything easy when you're working.
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 get so tired of painting. I've been trying to give it up all the time, if we could just make a living out of movies or the newspaper business or something. It's so boring, painting the same picture over and over.
Andy Warhol
Image
People are always calling me a mirror and if a mirror looks into a mirror, what is there to see?
Andy Warhol
Image
When I was in the hospital after I was shot they gave me drugs, but it was so great to get off those.
Andy Warhol
Image
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.

Image
When the Woolworth's-Hot-Fudge-Sundae switch goes on, then I know I really have something.
Andy Warhol

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).

I like church. It's empty when I go. I walk around. There are so many beautiful Catholic churches in New York.

Two people kissing always look like fish.
