As soon as you stop wanting something you get it. I've found that to be absolutely axiomatic.

More quotes by Andy Warhol
Don't think about making art, just get it done.
Andy Warhol
After Wakefield Poole's films, mine are unnecessary and a bit naive, don't you think?
Andy Warhol
Pop art is for everyone.
Andy Warhol
I think they should have movies in restaurants. I can't believe that so many people get together just to sit there. It's so abstract... isn't it abstract? What are these people sitting here watching?
Andy Warhol
...after you stop wanting things is when having them won't make you go crazy. After you stop wanting them is when you can handle having them. Or before. But never during. If you get things when you really want them, you go crazy. Everything becomes distorted when something you really want is sitting in your lap.
Andy Warhol
You have to hang on in periods when your style isn't popular, because if it's good, it'll come back, and you'll be a recognized beauty once again.
Andy Warhol
I can't bear to let all this beautiful talk go by. Everybody says... fantastic things. People are always putting it down as an invasion of privacy, but I think everyone should be bugged all the time... bugged and photographed.
Andy Warhol
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
The symptom of love is when some of the chemicals inside you go bad. So there must be something in love because your chemicals do tell you something.
Andy Warhol
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
Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?
Andy Warhol
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
One person in the 60s fascinated me more than anybody I had ever known. And the fascination I experienced was probably very close to a certain kind of love
Andy Warhol
I want to be a machine.
Andy Warhol
I really like to work a lot. It makes time go by fast.
Andy Warhol
At the times in my life when I was feeling the most gregarious and looking for bosom friendships, I couldn't find any takers, so that exactly when I was alone was when I felt the most like not being alone... I became a loner in my own mind... I decided I'd rather be alone.
Andy Warhol
I'll bet there are a lot of artists that nobody hears about who just make more money than anybody. The people that do all the sculptures and paintings for big building construction. We never hear about them, but they make more money than anybody.
Andy Warhol
An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he - for some reason - thinks it would be a good idea to give them.
Andy Warhol
I'm a deeply superficial person.
Andy Warhol
Since people are going to be living longer and getting older, they'll just have to learn how to be babies longer.
Andy Warhol
