Kiss me with your eyes.
Andy Warhol
Image
[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
A picture means I know where I was every minute. That's why I take pictures. It's a visual diary.
Andy Warhol
Image
The wide multitude wanted to seem contrarian. It meant that this type of nonconformism had to be mass-produced.
Andy Warhol
Image
If there's ever a problem, I film it and it's no longer a problem. It's a film.
Andy Warhol
Image
My instinct about painting says, 'if you don't think about it, it's right.' As soon as you have to decide and choose, it's wrong. And the more you decide about, the more wrong it gets.
Andy Warhol
Image
Wasting money puts you in a real party mood.
Andy Warhol
Image
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
Andy Warhol
Image
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).

Image
I really do live for the future, because when I'm eating a box of candy, I can't wait to taste the last piece.
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
Image
I think kids should go to high school until they're 30. No, really, because people are staying younger now and there's nothing to do. If you stayed longer, then it would be really great.
Andy Warhol
Image
Some people look 40 when they're 40. People look the way they're supposed to look at any age.
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
My image is a statement of the symbols of the harsh, impersonal products and brash materialistic objects on which America is built today. It is a projection of everything that can be bought and sold, and practical but impermanent symbols that sustain us.
Andy Warhol
Image
I've been invited to the White House about five times. I think the greatest thing would be if they actually invited everybody to the White House every night... they'd just take about 500 people a night. Everybody would just love this country because it's so thrilling to go there. It really is.
Andy Warhol
Image
Being born is like being kidnapped. And then sold into slavery. People are working every minute. The machinery is always going. Even when you sleep.
Andy Warhol
Image
It must be hard to be a model, because you'd want to be like the photograph of you, and you can't ever look that way.
Andy Warhol
Image
It would be very glamorous to be reincarnated as a great big ring on Liz Taylor's finger.
Andy Warhol
Image
I never read, I just look at pictures.
