Quote

I love the English language just like I love all American things. But I confess that I don't feel confident using complex sentences or big words, hence my famous minimally expressive style - all the gees and laconic answers to interviewers. Most of all, I have developed listening as an art form.

Andy Warhol
Image
Free countries are great, because you can actually sit in somebody else's space for a while and pretend you're a part of it. You can sit in the Plaza Hotel and you don't even have to live there. You can just sit and watch the people go by.
Andy Warhol
Image
Uptown is for people who have already done something. Downtown is where they’re doing something now. I live uptown but I love downtown.

I'll bet there are a lot of artists that nobody hears about who just make more money than anybody.
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
