I do mostly portraits. So it's just people's faces, not really any ideas.

Fashion is more art than art is
Andy Warhol

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
Don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches.
Andy Warhol
Image
Whenever I’m interested in something, I know the timing’s off, because I’m always interested in the right thing at the wrong time. I should just be getting interested after I’m not interested any more.
Andy Warhol
Image
I wanted to paint nothing. I was looking for something that was the essence of nothing, and the soup can was it.
Andy Warhol
Image
I always think I don't do the first one good, so I try to do it more.
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.

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.
Andy Warhol
Image
Believe me... I've made a career out of being the right thing in the wrong space and the wrong thing in the right space. That's one thing... I really do know about.
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
I've never made the separation between, say, the museum and the hardware store. I mean, I enjoy both of them, and I want to combine the two.
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
Fantasy love is much better than reality love. Never doing it is very exciting. The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.
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.

I want to die with my blue jeans on.
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
Don't think about making art, just get it done.
Andy Warhol
Image
The symptom of love is when some of the chemicals inside you go bad. So there must be something in love because your chemicals do tell you something.
Andy Warhol

The mystery was gone but the amazement was just starting.
