More quotes by Andy Warhol
Everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.
Andy Warhol
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
I'm bored with that line. I never use it anymore. My new line is 'In 15 minutes everybody will be famous.'
Andy Warhol
I think anybody can take a good picture. My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person doing something unfamous. It's being in the right place at the wrong time.
Andy Warhol
The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.
Andy Warhol
You need to let little things that would ordinarily bore you suddenly thrill you.
Andy Warhol
...after you stop wanting things is when having them won't make you go crazy. After you stop wanting them is when you can handle having them. Or before. But never during. If you get things when you really want them, you go crazy. Everything becomes distorted when something you really want is sitting in your lap.
Andy Warhol
The idea of America is so wonderful because the more equal something is, the more American it is
Andy Warhol
What we're all looking for is someone who doesn't live there, just pays for it.
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
Space is all one space and thought is all one thought, but my mind divides its spaces into spaces into spaces and thoughts into thoughts into thoughts. Like a large condominium. Occasionally I think about the one Space and the one Thought, but usually I don't. Usually I think about my condominium.
Andy Warhol
My image is a statement of the symbols of the harsh, impersonal products and brash materialistic objects on which America is built today. It is a projection of everything that can be bought and sold, and practical but impermanent symbols that sustain us.
Andy Warhol
The wide multitude wanted to seem contrarian. It meant that this type of nonconformism had to be mass-produced.
Andy Warhol
I'll bet there are a lot of artists that nobody hears about who just make more money than anybody.
Andy Warhol
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.
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.
Andy Warhol
If there's ever a problem, I film it and it's no longer a problem. It's a film.
Andy Warhol
I smoke pot because I want to go to heaven before I die
Andy Warhol
I wanted to paint nothing. I was looking for something that was the essence of nothing, and the soup can was it.
Andy Warhol
Whenever I’m interested in something, I know the timing’s off, because I’m always interested in the right thing at the wrong time. I should just be getting interested after I’m not interested any more.
Andy Warhol
