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
I think pot should be legal. I don’t smoke it, but I like the smell of it.
Andy Warhol
Image
I never read, I just look at pictures.
Andy Warhol
Image
At the times in my life when I was feeling the most gregarious and looking for bosom friendships, I couldn't find any takers, so that exactly when I was alone was when I felt the most like not being alone... I became a loner in my own mind... I decided I'd rather be alone.

Exposure and attention make a work famous - the more you talk about it, the more attention it gets, the more validity it achieves.
Andy Warhol
Image
The reason I'm painting this way is that I want to be a machine, and I feel that whatever I do and do machine-like is what I want to do.
Andy Warhol
Image
(You wouldn't believe how many people will hang up a picture of an electric chair? especially if it matches the color of their curtains.
Andy Warhol
Image
I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.
Andy Warhol
Image
I can't remember my dreams more than a couple of seconds after I wake up. It's frustrating because sometimes I dream that I'm watching a really good movie.
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
People need to be made more aware of the need to work at learning how to live because life is so quick and sometimes it goes away too quickly.
Andy Warhol
Image
You need to let little things that would ordinarily bore you suddenly thrill you.
Andy Warhol
Image
Paintings are too hard. The things I want to show are mechanical. Machines have less problems. I'd like to be a machine, wouldn't you?
Andy Warhol
Image
I don't believe people die. They just go uptown. To Bloomingdales. They just take longer to get back.
Andy Warhol
Image
If you can convince yourself that you look fabulous, you can save yourself the trouble of primping.
Andy Warhol
Image
I'm starting to think that the men are the ones who should wear the big jewelry because they can defend it better when it's robbed. They should wear the big diamonds. You can show how much of a man you are, because the bigger the diamond, the stronger you have to be to defend it.

The key of the success of Studio 54 is that it’s a dictatorship at the door and a democracy on the dance floor.
