I'm a deeply superficial person.
Andy Warhol

(You wouldn't believe how many people will hang up a picture of an electric chair? especially if it matches the color of their curtains.
Andy Warhol

Buying is more American than thinking, and I'm as American as they come.
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
If you're traveling for five years or something like that, you're going somewhere. But five years are being used up, and you don't have to do anything. You just sit on the plane. That might make time go really fast.
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
When I did my self-portrait, I left all the pimples out because you always should. Pimples are a temporary condition and they don't have anything to do with what you really look like. Always omit the blemishes-they're not part of the good picture you want.
Andy Warhol
Image
I met someone on the street who said wasn't it great that we're going to have a movie star for president, that it was so Pop, and (laughs) when you think about it like that, it is great, it's so American.
Andy Warhol
Image
The most beautiful thing in Tokyo is McDonald's. The most beautiful thing in Stockholm is McDonald's. The most beautiful thing in Florence is McDonald's. Peking and Moscow don't have anything beautiful yet.
Andy Warhol
Image
You need to let little things that would ordinarily bore you suddenly thrill you.
Andy Warhol
Image
I was trying to think the other day about what you do now in America if you want to be successful. Before, you were dependable and wore a good suit. Looking around, I guess that today you have to do all the same things but not wear a good suit. I guess that's all it is. Think rich. Look poor.
Andy Warhol
Image
I do mostly portraits. So it's just people's faces, not really any ideas.
Andy Warhol
Image
Sex is more exciting on the screen and between the pages than between the sheets.
Andy Warhol
Image
The only time I ever want to be something is outside a party so I can get in.
Andy Warhol
Image
You have to do stuff that average people don't understand because those are the only good things.
Andy Warhol
Image
I've never made the separation between, say, the museum and the hardware store. I mean, I enjoy both of them, and I want to combine the two.
Andy Warhol
Image
I love Los Angeles. I love Hollywood. They're beautiful. Everybody's plastic, but I love plastic. I want to be plastic.
Andy Warhol
Image
What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest.
Andy Warhol
Image
Love and sex can go together and sex and unlove can go together and love and unsex can go together. But personal love and personal sex is bad.
Andy Warhol
