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

More quotes by 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
Two people kissing always look like fish.
Andy Warhol
Everybody must have a fantasy.
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 think every painting should be the same size and the same color so they're all interchangeable and nobody thinks they have a better painting or a worse painting.... Besides even when the subject is different, people want the same painting.
Andy Warhol
I loved working when I worked at commercial art and they told you what to do and how to do it and all you had to do was correct it and they'd say yes or no. The hard thing is when you have to dream up the tasteless things to do on your own.
Andy Warhol
I don't want to be smart, because being smart makes you depressed.
Andy Warhol
Some people look 40 when they're 40. People look the way they're supposed to look at any age.
Andy Warhol
Living in New York City gives people real incentives to want things that nobody else wants.
Andy Warhol
I never think that people die. They just go to department stores.
Andy Warhol
I never fall apart, because I never fall together.
Andy Warhol
When you do something exactly wrong, you always turn up something.
Andy Warhol
You should always have a product that has nothing to do with who you are or what people think about you... so that you never start thinking that your product is you, or your fame or your aura.
Andy Warhol
My ideal city would be one long main street with no cross streets or side streets to jam up traffic. Just a long one-way street.
Andy Warhol
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
I never wanted to be a painter I wanted to be a tap dancer.
Andy Warhol
Beauty is a sign of intelligence.
Andy Warhol
I wake up every morning. I open my eyes and think: here we go again.
Andy Warhol
The pop artists did images that anybody walking down Broadway could recognize in a split second — comics, picnic tables, men’s trousers, celebrities, shower curtains, refrigerators, Coke bottles. All the great modern things that the Abstract Expressionists tried not to notice at all.
Andy Warhol
Look poor, think rich.
Andy Warhol
