Fashion wasn't what you wore someplace anymore it was the whole reason for going.
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.
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
I like comedy, not violence, but violence is making a lot of money. But comedy is what I like.
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
I think it would be great to make a $2 million or $3 million art movie where nobody would really have to go to it. I thought that would be a good project to work on . . . do something really artistic.
Andy Warhol
Image
You should always have a product that has nothing to do with who you are or what people think about you... so that you never start thinking that your product is you, or your fame or your aura.
Andy Warhol
Image
People sometimes say that the way things happen in the movies is unreal, but actually, it's the way things happen to you in life that's unreal. The movies make emotions look strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it's like you're watching television -- you don't feel anything.
Andy Warhol
Image
Bad taste makes the day go by faster.
Andy Warhol
Image
I'm starting to think that the men are the ones who should wear the big jewelry because they can defend it better when it's robbed. They should wear the big diamonds. You can show how much of a man you are, because the bigger the diamond, the stronger you have to be to defend it.

I will go to the Opening of Anything, including a Toilet Seat
Andy Warhol
Image
It's funny when people don't know you and they meet you for the first time and think you're so great. When fans know you for more than three or four times the magic is gone.
Andy Warhol
Image
The world fascinates me.
Andy Warhol
Image
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
The moment you label something, you take a step-I mean, you can never go back again to seeing it unlabelled.
Andy Warhol
Image
People need to be made more aware of the need to work at learning how to live because life is so quick and sometimes it goes away too quickly.
Andy Warhol
Image
Since people are going to be living longer and getting older, they'll just have to learn how to be babies longer.
Andy Warhol
Image
Don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches.
Andy Warhol
Image
When I look around today, the biggest anachronism I see is pregnancy. I just can't believe that people are still pregnant.
Andy Warhol

Just like New Yorkers themselves, the trees in New York [city] work harder than any others in the world.
