More quotes by Andy Warhol
I admit to having worn suede and leather pants myself for a while, but you just never feel clean, and it's degenerate, anyway, to wear animal skins.... So I went back to bluejeans after my degenerate period.
Andy Warhol
I like boring things.
Andy Warhol
You'd be surprised how many people want to hang an electric chair on their living-room wall. Specially if the background color matches the drapes.
Andy Warhol
Even beauties can be unattractive. If you catch a beauty in the wrong light at the right time, forget it. I believe in low lights and trick mirrors. I believe in plastic surgery.
Andy Warhol
I really hate heights. I always like to live on the first floor.
Andy Warhol
Nutty people are always writing me. I always think I must be on some nutty mailing list.
Andy Warhol
I have Social Disease. I have to go out every night. If I stay home one night I start spreading rumors to my dogs.
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'm the type who'd be happy not going anywhere as long as I was sure I knew exactly what was happening at the places I wasn't going to. I'm the type who'd like to sit home and watch every party that I'm invited to on a monitor in my bedroom.
Andy Warhol
Everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.
Andy Warhol
Just like New Yorkers themselves, the trees in New York [city] work harder than any others in the world.
Andy Warhol
Two people kissing always look like fish.
Andy Warhol
I think the first photograph I did was a ballplayer. It was a way of showing action or something.
Andy Warhol
After Wakefield Poole's films, mine are unnecessary and a bit naive, don't you think?
Andy Warhol
Money has a certain kind of amnesty.
Andy Warhol
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.
Andy Warhol
Remember, they've never seen you before in their life.
Andy Warhol
I'd rather do new stuff. The old stuff is better to talk about than to see. It always sounds better than it really is.
Andy Warhol
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
Everybody has their own America, and then they have pieces of a fantasy America that they think is out there but they can't see.
Andy Warhol
