If you wear a wig, everybody notices. But if you then dye the wig, people notice the dye.
Andy Warhol

The clothes of Courreges are so nice.
Andy Warhol

I'll bet there are a lot of artists that nobody hears about who just make more money than anybody. The people that do all the sculptures and paintings for big building construction. We never hear about them, but they make more money than anybody.
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 never think that people die. They just go to department stores.
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.

Sports figures are to the '70s what movie stars were to the '60s.
Andy Warhol

I do mostly portraits. So it's just people's faces, not really any ideas.
Andy Warhol
Image
I'm the type who'd be happy not going anywhere as long as I was sure I knew exactly what was happening at the places I wasn't going to. I'm the type who'd like to sit home and watch every party that I'm invited to on a monitor in my bedroom.

Don't think about making art, just get it done.
Andy Warhol

Sex is more exciting on the screen and between the pages than between the sheets.
Andy Warhol
Image
The childlike, gum-chewing naivete, the glamour rooted in despair, the self-admiring carelessness, the perfected otherness, the wispiness, the shadowy, voyeuristic, vaguely sinister aura, the pale, soft-spoken magical presence, the skin and bones . . .
Andy Warhol
Image
The mystery was gone but the amazement was just starting.
Andy Warhol
Image
And your own life while it's happening to you never has any atmosphere until it's a memory.
Andy Warhol
Image
Kiss me with your eyes.

Beauty really has to do with the way a person carries it off
Andy Warhol
Image
I'd asked around 10 or 15 people for suggestions. Finally one lady friend asked the right question, 'Well, what do you love most?' That's how I started painting money.
Andy Warhol
Image
My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person. People are only glamorous if you don't see them. Like the movies used to make people years ago. There is something about people on screen that makes them so special when you see them in person, they are so different and the whole illusion is gone.
Andy Warhol
Image
My fascination with letting images repeat and repeat or in film's case 'run on' manifests my belief that we spend much of our lives seeing without observing.

When I got my first TV set, I stopped caring so much about having close relationships with other people.
