I wanted to paint nothing. I was looking for something that was the essence of nothing, and the soup can was it.

More quotes by Andy Warhol
Once you 'got' Pop, you could never see a sign again the same way again. And once you thought Pop, you could never see America the same way again.
Andy Warhol
I've decided something: Commercial things really do stink. As soon as it becomes commercial for a mass market it really stinks.
Andy Warhol
I really like to work a lot. It makes time go by fast.
Andy Warhol
I want everybody to think alike. I think everybody should be a machine.
Andy Warhol
Pop art is for everyone.
Andy Warhol
I want to be a machine.
Andy Warhol
How can you say one style is better than another? You ought to be able to be an Abstract Expressionist next week, or a Pop artist, or a realist, without feeling you've given up something.. I think that would be so great, to be able to change styles. And I think that's what's is going to happen, that's going to be the whole new scene.
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
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.
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 never understood why when you died, you didn't just vanish, everything could just keep going on the way it was only you just wouldn't be there. I always thought I'd like my own tombstone to be blank. No epitaph, and no name. Well, actually, I'd like it to say 'figment.'
Andy Warhol
So many people have so many problems. When you think that health is wealth, you're so grateful just to be normal, more or less. Aren't you?
Andy Warhol
The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.
Andy Warhol
It’s not what you are that counts, it’s what they think you are.
Andy Warhol
You can be just as faithful to a place or a thing as you can to a person. A place can really make your heart skip a beat, especially if you have to take a plane to get there.
Andy Warhol
If there's ever a problem, I film it and it's no longer a problem. It's a film.
Andy Warhol
Every song has a memory every song has the ability to make or break your heart, shut down the heart, and open the eyes. But I’m afraid if you look at a thing long enough it loses all of its meaning
Andy Warhol
I always like to see if the art across the street is better than mine.
Andy Warhol
If everyone isn't beautiful, then no one is.
Andy Warhol
