More quotes by Andy Warhol
I will go to the Opening of Anything, including a Toilet Seat
Andy Warhol
The Palace is a good theater, you can see from everywhere.
Andy Warhol
The idea of America is so wonderful because the more equal something is, the more American it is
Andy Warhol
Since I was shot, everything is such a dream to me. Like I don't know whether I'm alive or whether I died. I wasn't afraid before. And having been dead once, I shouldn't feel fear. But I am afraid. I don't understand why.
Andy Warhol
People sometimes say that the way things happen in the movies is unreal, but actually, it's the way things happen to you in life that's unreal. The movies make emotions look strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it's like you're watching television -- you don't feel anything.
Andy Warhol
I'm confused about who the news belongs to. I always have it in my head that if your name's in the news, then the news should be paying you. Because it's your news and they're taking it and selling it as their product. ...If people didn't give the news their news, and if everybody kept their news to themselves, the news wouldn't have any news.
Andy Warhol
I want to be a machine.
Andy Warhol
Beauty is a sign of intelligence.
Andy Warhol
I've never made the separation between, say, the museum and the hardware store. I mean, I enjoy both of them, and I want to combine the two.
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.
Andy Warhol
You have to do stuff that average people don't understand because those are the only good things.
Andy Warhol
We live in an age when the traditional great subjects - the human form, the landscape, even newer traditions such as abstract expressionism - are daily devalued by commercial art.
Andy Warhol
My instinct about painting says, 'if you don't think about it, it's right.' As soon as you have to decide and choose, it's wrong. And the more you decide about, the more wrong it gets.
Andy Warhol
Living in New York City gives people real incentives to want things that nobody else wants.
Andy Warhol
I don't want to be smart, because being smart makes you depressed.
Andy Warhol
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
Now and then, someone would accuse me of being evil - of letting people destroy themselves while I watched, just so I could film them and tape-record them. But I didn't think of myself as evil - just realistic.
Andy Warhol
Employees make the best dates. You don't have to pick them up and they're always tax-deductible.
Andy Warhol
Edward Smith: What do you think is the characteristic of a really nice person? Some people you obviously do like more than others. Andy Warhol: Ummm, well, if they talk a lot. ES: What, and don't make you talk? AW: Yeah, yes, that's a really nice person.
Andy Warhol
It must be hard to be a model, because you'd want to be like the photograph of you, and you can't ever look that way.
Andy Warhol
