I can't remember my dreams more than a couple of seconds after I wake up. It's frustrating because sometimes I dream that I'm watching a really good movie.
Andy Warhol
Image
I do mostly portraits. So it's just people's faces, not really any ideas.

I like boring things.

...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.

Wasting money puts you in a real party mood.
Andy Warhol

Sometimes the little times you don't think are anything while they're happening turn out to be what marks a whole period of your life.
Andy Warhol
Image
Paintings are too hard. The things I want to show are mechanical. Machines have less problems. I'd like to be a machine, wouldn't you?
Andy Warhol
Image
My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person.
Andy Warhol
Image
I can't bear to let all this beautiful talk go by. Everybody says... fantastic things. People are always putting it down as an invasion of privacy, but I think everyone should be bugged all the time... bugged and photographed.
Andy Warhol
Image
I always wished I had died, and I still wish that, because I could have gotten the whole thing over with.
Andy Warhol
Image
If you're not trying to be real, you don't have to get it right. That's art.

I believe in low lights and trick mirrors.
