If there's ever a problem, I film it and it's no longer a problem. It's a film.
Andy Warhol

Everybody must have a fantasy.
Andy Warhol
Image
I think everybody should like everybody.
Andy Warhol
Image
You need to let little things that would ordinarily bore you suddenly thrill you.
Andy Warhol
Image
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.

I really hate heights. I always like to live on the first floor.
Andy Warhol
Image
The interviewer should just tell me the words he wants me to say and I’ll repeat them after him. I think that would be so great because I’m so empty I just can’t think of anything to say.

Image
[My vision of America is] a good vision. Actually the best is on TV. I wanted to shoot all the pictures off the TV. No one would have known the difference.
Andy Warhol
Image
The reason I'm painting this way is that I want to be a machine, and I feel that whatever I do and do machine-like is what I want to do.

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.

Death means a lot of money, honey. Death can really make you look like a star.
Andy Warhol

Fantasy love is much better than reality love. Never doing it is very exciting. The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.
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.

Image
Pelé is one of the few who contradicted my theory: instead of fifteen minutes of fame, he will have fifteen centuries.
Andy Warhol
Image
I wake up every morning. I open my eyes and think: here we go again.
Andy Warhol

When you stop wanting something, you get it.

An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.

A friend of mine always says, ‘Women love me for the man I’m not.’
Andy Warhol
Image
I love the English language just like I love all American things. But I confess that I don't feel confident using complex sentences or big words, hence my famous minimally expressive style - all the gees and laconic answers to interviewers. Most of all, I have developed listening as an art form.

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.
