More quotes by Andy Warhol

Image
Human beings are born solitary, but everywhere they are in chains - daisy chains - of interactivity. Social actions are makeshift forms, often courageous, sometimes ridiculous, always strange. And in a way, every social action is a negotiation, a compromise between 'his,' 'her' or 'their' wish and yours.
Andy Warhol
Image
Just like New Yorkers themselves, the trees in New York [city] work harder than any others in the world.
Andy Warhol
Image
How can you say one style is better than another? You ought to be able to be an Abstract Expressionist next week, or a Pop artist, or a realist, without feeling you've given up something.. I think that would be so great, to be able to change styles. And I think that's what's is going to happen, that's going to be the whole new scene.
Andy Warhol

I just [take pictures] because the camera is something to carry around in my pocket.
Andy Warhol
Image
I still care about people but it would be so much easier not to care. I don't want to get too close I don't like to touch things.
Andy Warhol

Romance is finding your fantasy in people who don't have it.
Andy Warhol

Empty space is never-wasted space. Wasted space is any space that has art in it.
Andy Warhol

That's the hard part of overdosing on cherries-you have all the pits to tell you exactly how many you ate. Not more or less. Exactly. One-seed fruits really bother me for that reason. That's why I'd always rather eat raisins than prunes. Prune pits are even more imposing than cherry pits.
Andy Warhol
Image
Don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches.
Andy Warhol
Image
Free countries are great, because you can actually sit in somebody else's space for a while and pretend you're a part of it. You can sit in the Plaza Hotel and you don't even have to live there. You can just sit and watch the people go by.
Andy Warhol

A friend of mine always says, ‘Women love me for the man I’m not.’
Andy Warhol
Image
It’s not what you are that counts, it’s what they think you are.
Andy Warhol

Pop art is a way of liking things.

If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There's nothing behind it.
Andy Warhol
Image
All photography is Pop, and all photographers are crazy... they feel guilty since they don't have to do very much - just push a button.

Business Art is the step that comes after Art.

Being born is like being kidnapped. And then sold into slavery.

Fantasy love is much better than Reality Love.
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.

The interviewer should just tell me the words he wants me to say and I’ll repeat them after him. I think that would be so great because I’m so empty I just can’t think of anything to say.
