More quotes by Andy Warhol

Image
So many people seem to prefer my silver-screenings of movie stars to the rest of my work. It must be the subject matter that attracts them, because my death and violence paintings are just as good.
Andy Warhol
Image
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
Image
Remember, they've never seen you before in their life.
Andy Warhol
Image
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
Image
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 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
Image
Actually, I jade very quickly. Once is usually enough. Either once only, or every day. If you do something once it’s exciting, and if you do it every day it’s exciting. But if you do it, say, twice or just almost every day, it’s not good any more.
Andy Warhol
Image
I believe in low lights and trick mirrors.
Andy Warhol
Image
I don't want to be smart, because being smart makes you depressed.
Andy Warhol
Image
I really don't care that much about Beauties. What I really like are Talkers. To me, good talkers are beautiful because good talk is what I love. The word itself shows why I like Talkers better than Beauties, why I tape more than I film. It's not talkies. Talkers are doing something.
Andy Warhol
Image
People should fall in love with their eyes closed.
Andy Warhol
Image
Employees make the best dates. You don't have to pick them up and they're always tax-deductible.
Andy Warhol
Image
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
When the Woolworth's-Hot-Fudge-Sundae switch goes on, then I know I really have something.
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 like comedy, not violence, but violence is making a lot of money. But comedy is what I like.
Andy Warhol
Image
People are always so boring when they band together. You have to be alone to develop all the idiosyncrasies that make a person interesting.
Andy Warhol
Image
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
Image
It would be very glamorous to be reincarnated as a great big ring on Liz Taylor's finger.
Andy Warhol
Image
My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person.
Andy Warhol
