Nutty people are always writing me. I always think I must be on some nutty mailing list.
Andy Warhol
Image
Perception precedes reality.
Andy Warhol
Image
Sometimes something can look beautiful just because it's different in some way from the other things around it. One red petunia in a window box will look very beautiful if all the rest of them are white, and vice-versa.
Andy Warhol
Image
I'm a deeply superficial person.
Andy Warhol
Image
So many people seem to prefer my silver-screenings of movie stars to the rest of my work. It must be the subject matter that attracts them, because my death and violence paintings are just as good.
Andy Warhol
Image
I never think that people die. They just go to department stores.
Andy Warhol
Image
Pop art is a way of liking things.
Andy Warhol
Image
Everything is beautiful. Pop is everything.
Andy Warhol

Fantasy love is much better than Reality Love.

I love going out every night. It’s so exciting.
Andy Warhol

Think rich, look poor.
Andy Warhol
Image
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
Image
...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.
Andy Warhol
Image
My image is a statement of the symbols of the harsh, impersonal products and brash materialistic objects on which America is built today. It is a projection of everything that can be bought and sold, and practical but impermanent symbols that sustain us.
Andy Warhol
Image
If you don’t think about it, it’s right.
Andy Warhol
Image
The girls in California were probably prettier in a standard sense than the New York girls--blonder and in better health, I guess but I still preferred the way the girls in New York looked--stranger and more neurotic (a girl always looked more beautiful and fragile when she was about to have a nervous breakdown).
Andy Warhol
Image
You meet rich people and you hang around with them, and one night they've had a few drinks and they say 'I'll buy it!' Then they tell their friends, 'You must have this person's work, darling,' and that's all you need. That's all it takes. Get it?
Andy Warhol
Image
Look poor, think rich.
Andy Warhol
Image
I can't give parties. It's so hard. When I want to call somebody up for dinner they think I'm using them or something. I just can't stand it.
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.
