I'm confused about who the news belongs to. I always have it in my head that if your name's in the news, then the news should be paying you. Because it's your news and they're taking it and selling it as their product. ...If people didn't give the news their news, and if everybody kept their news to themselves, the news wouldn't have any news.

Every song has a memory every song has the ability to make or break your heart, shut down the heart, and open the eyes. But I’m afraid if you look at a thing long enough it loses all of its meaning

I can never get over when you're on the beach how beautiful the sand looks and the water washes it away and straightens it up and the trees and the grass all look great. I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own.

All photography is Pop, and all photographers are crazy... they feel guilty since they don't have to do very much - just push a button.

Edward Smith: What do you think is the characteristic of a really nice person? Some people you obviously do like more than others. Andy Warhol: Ummm, well, if they talk a lot. ES: What, and don't make you talk? AW: Yeah, yes, that's a really nice person.

When I look at things, I always see the space they occupy. I always want the space to reappear, to make a comeback, because it's lost space when there's something in it.
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.

I never fall apart, because I never fall together.

Everybody winds up kissing the wrong person good-night.

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 always wished I had died, and I still wish that, because I could have gotten the whole thing over with.

People are always so boring when they band together. You have to be alone to develop all the idiosyncrasies that make a person interesting.

I think the first photograph I did was a ballplayer. It was a way of showing action or something.

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.

Perception precedes reality.

You can be just as faithful to a place or a thing as you can to a person. A place can really make your heart skip a beat, especially if you have to take a plane to get there.

I wanted to paint nothing. I was looking for something that was the essence of nothing, and the soup can was it.

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).

Since I was shot, everything is such a dream to me. Like I don't know whether I'm alive or whether I died. I wasn't afraid before. And having been dead once, I shouldn't feel fear. But I am afraid. I don't understand why.
Andy Warhol
