You'd be surprised how many people want to hang an electric chair on their living-room wall. Specially if the background color matches the drapes.

[My vision of America is] a good vision. Actually the best is on TV. I wanted to shoot all the pictures off the TV. No one would have known the difference.
Andy Warhol
Image
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.
Andy Warhol

Success is when the checks don’t bounce.

Wasting money puts you in a real party mood.

I think somebody should be able to do all my paintings for me.

Dying is the most embarrassing thing that can ever happen to you, because someone's got to take care of all your details.
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
You can never predict what little things in the way somebody looks or talks or acts will set off peculiar emotional reactions in other people.
Andy Warhol
Image
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
Image
Don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches.
Andy Warhol
Image
Think rich, look poor.
Andy Warhol
Image
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
Image
Paintings are too hard. The things I want to show are mechanical. Machines have less problems. I'd like to be a machine, wouldn't you?
Andy Warhol
Image
Sometimes something can look beautiful just because it's different in some way from the other things around it. One red petunia in a window box will look very beautiful if all the rest of them are white, and vice-versa.
Andy Warhol
Image
You have to do stuff that average people don't understand because those are the only good things.
Andy Warhol
Image
Everything is more glamorous when you do it in bed anyway.
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
During the 1960s, I think, people forgot what emotions were supposed to be. And I don't think they've ever remembered.
Andy Warhol
Image
I've decided something: Commercial things really do stink. As soon as it becomes commercial for a mass market it really stinks.

If you're not trying to be real, you don't have to get it right. That's art.
