I just happen to like ordinary things. When I paint them, I don't try to make them extraordinary. I just try to paint them ordinary-ordina ry.

The biggest price you pay for love is that you have to have somebody around, you can't be on your own, wich is always so much better.
Andy Warhol
Image
Beauty really has to do with the way a person carries it off
Andy Warhol
Image
...the more you look at the same exact thing, the more the meaning goes away, and the better and emptier you feel.
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.

I wonder if it's possible to have a love affair that lasts forever.

Fashion wasn't what you wore someplace anymore it was the whole reason for going.
Andy Warhol

I really don't care that much about Beauties. What I really like are Talkers. To me, good talkers are beautiful because good talk is what I love. The word itself shows why I like Talkers better than Beauties, why I tape more than I film. It's not talkies. Talkers are doing something.

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.

I want to die with my blue jeans on.
Andy Warhol
Image
Empty space is never-wasted space. Wasted space is any space that has art in it.
Andy Warhol
Image
I had a lot of dates but I decided to stay home and dye my eyebrows.
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
You can never predict what little things in the way somebody looks or talks or acts will set off peculiar emotional reactions in other people.
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
Image
Free countries are great, because you can actually sit in somebody else's space for a while and pretend you're a part of it. You can sit in the Plaza Hotel and you don't even have to live there. You can just sit and watch the people go by.
Andy Warhol
Image
If you can convince yourself that you look fabulous, you can save yourself the trouble of primping.
Andy Warhol

Two people kissing always look like fish.

I read an article on me once that described my machine-method of silk-screen copying and painting: 'What a bold and audacious solution, what depths of the man are revealed in this solution!' What does that mean?
