If I had gone ahead and died ten years ago, I'd probably be a cult figure today.

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
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.
Andy Warhol
Image
I broke something and realized I should break something once a week to remind me how fragile life is.
Andy Warhol
Image
I do mostly portraits. So it's just people's faces, not really any ideas.
Andy Warhol
Image
There should be a course in the first grade on love.
Andy Warhol
Image
Land really is the best art.
Andy Warhol
Image
Don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches.
Andy Warhol
Image
I really believe in empty spaces, although, as an artist, I make a lot of junk. Empty space is never-wasted space. Wasted space is any space that has art in it. An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have but that he, for some reason, thinks it would be a good idea to give them.
Andy Warhol
Image
Photographers feel guilty that all they do for a living is press a button.
Andy Warhol
Image
But I always say, one's company, two's a crowd, and three's a party
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.
Andy Warhol
Image
People's fantasies are what give them problems. If you didn't have fantasies you wouldn't have problems because you'd just take whatever was there.
Andy Warhol
Image
The idea of America is so wonderful because the more equal something is, the more American it is
Andy Warhol
Image
People sometimes say that the way things happen in the movies is unreal, but actually, it's the way things happen to you in life that's unreal. The movies make emotions look strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it's like you're watching television -- you don't feel anything.
Andy Warhol
Image
I really don't care that much about Beauties. What I really like are Talkers. To me, good talkers are beautiful because good talk is what I love. The word itself shows why I like Talkers better than Beauties, why I tape more than I film. It's not talkies. Talkers are doing something.
Andy Warhol
Image
I had a lot of dates but I decided to stay home and dye my eyebrows.
Andy Warhol
Image
Being born is like being kidnapped. And then sold into slavery.
Andy Warhol
Image
I want to die with my blue jeans on.
Andy Warhol
Image
Now and then, someone would accuse me of being evil - of letting people destroy themselves while I watched, just so I could film them and tape-record them. But I didn't think of myself as evil - just realistic.
Andy Warhol
Image
When people are ready to, they change. They never do it before then, and sometimes they die before they get around to it. You can't make them change if they don't want to, just like when they do want to, you can't stop them.
Andy Warhol
