The moment you label something, you take a step-I mean, you can never go back again to seeing it unlabelled.
Andy Warhol
Image
Success is what sells.
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 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.

Money has a certain kind of amnesty.
Andy Warhol

People in uniform always look so great.
Andy Warhol
Image
Publicity is like eating peanuts. Once you start you can’t stop.
Andy Warhol
Image
When you do something exactly wrong, you always turn up something.

I think every painting should be the same size and the same color so they're all interchangeable and nobody thinks they have a better painting or a worse painting.... Besides even when the subject is different, people want the same painting.
Andy Warhol

It would be very glamorous to be reincarnated as a great big ring on Liz Taylor's finger.
Andy Warhol
Image
Maybe the reason my memory is so bad is that I always do at least two things at once. It's easier to forget something you only half-did or quarter did.
Andy Warhol
Image
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
Some people look 40 when they're 40. People look the way they're supposed to look at any age.
Andy Warhol
Image
What I was actually trying to do in my early movies was show how people can meet other people and what they can do and what they can say to each other. That was the whole idea: two people getting acquainted.
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
I'm a deeply superficial person.
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
Death means a lot of money, honey. Death can really make you look like a star.
Andy Warhol
Image
I've decided something: Commercial things really do stink. As soon as it becomes commercial for a mass market it really stinks.

Traveling makes time go fast. So maybe traveling in space will give people time.
