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.

I'm for mechanical art. When I took up silk screening, it was to more fully exploit the preconceived image through the commercial techniques of multiple reproduction.
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
Everybody has a different idea of love. One girl I know said, I knew he loved me when de didn't come in my mouth.
Andy Warhol
Image
An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.
Andy Warhol
Image
The biggest price you pay for love is that you have to have somebody around, you can't be on your own, wich is always so much better.
Andy Warhol
Image
I get so tired of painting. I've been trying to give it up all the time, if we could just make a living out of movies or the newspaper business or something. It's so boring, painting the same picture over and over.
Andy Warhol
Image
You can never predict what little things in the way somebody looks or talks or acts will set off peculiar emotional reactions in other people.
Andy Warhol
Image
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
Image
Human beings are born solitary, but everywhere they are in chains - daisy chains - of interactivity. Social actions are makeshift forms, often courageous, sometimes ridiculous, always strange. And in a way, every social action is a negotiation, a compromise between 'his,' 'her' or 'their' wish and yours.
Andy Warhol
Image
I think anybody can take a good picture. My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person doing something unfamous. It's being in the right place at the wrong time.
Andy Warhol
Image
Death means a lot of money, honey. Death can really make you look like a star.
Andy Warhol

The interviewer should just tell me the words he wants me to say and I’ll repeat them after him. I think that would be so great because I’m so empty I just can’t think of anything to say.
Andy Warhol
Image
After Wakefield Poole's films, mine are unnecessary and a bit naive, don't you think?
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

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.

Actually, I jade very quickly. Once is usually enough. Either once only, or every day. If you do something once it’s exciting, and if you do it every day it’s exciting. But if you do it, say, twice or just almost every day, it’s not good any more.
Andy Warhol
Image
Sex is more exciting on the screen and between the pages than between the sheets.
Andy Warhol
Image
If there's ever a problem, I film it and it's no longer a problem. It's a film.
Andy Warhol
Image
I was trying to think the other day about what you do now in America if you want to be successful. Before, you were dependable and wore a good suit. Looking around, I guess that today you have to do all the same things but not wear a good suit. I guess that's all it is. Think rich. Look poor.

The mystery was gone but the amazement was just starting.
