The moment you label something, you take a step-I mean, you can never go back again to seeing it unlabelled.

Think rich, look poor.
Andy Warhol
Image
I learned that you actually have more power when you shut up.
Andy Warhol
Image
The childlike, gum-chewing naivete, the glamour rooted in despair, the self-admiring carelessness, the perfected otherness, the wispiness, the shadowy, voyeuristic, vaguely sinister aura, the pale, soft-spoken magical presence, the skin and bones . . .
Andy Warhol
Image
I always thought I'd like my own tombstone to be blank. No epitaph, and no name. Well, actually, I'd like it to say 'figment.'
Andy Warhol
Image
I loved working when I worked at commercial art and they told you what to do and how to do it and all you had to do was correct it and they'd say yes or no. The hard thing is when you have to dream up the tasteless things to do on your own.
Andy Warhol
Image
Fashion is more art than art is
Andy Warhol
Image
My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person.
Andy Warhol
Image
My fascination with letting images repeat and repeat or in film's case 'run on' manifests my belief that we spend much of our lives seeing without observing.
Andy Warhol
Image
Beauty really has to do with the way a person carries it off
Andy Warhol
Image
I believe in low lights and trick mirrors.
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
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
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
Once you 'got' Pop, you could never see a sign again the same way again. And once you thought Pop, you could never see America the same way again.
Andy Warhol
Image
I think an artist is anybody who does something well, like if you cook well.
Andy Warhol
Image
The pop artists did images that anybody walking down Broadway could recognize in a split second — comics, picnic tables, men’s trousers, celebrities, shower curtains, refrigerators, Coke bottles. All the great modern things that the Abstract Expressionists tried not to notice at all.
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 don't know where the artificial stops and the real starts.
Andy Warhol
Image
If something's going to happen for you, it will, you can't make it happen. And it never does happen until you're past the point where you care whether it happens or not. I guess it's for our own good that it always happens that way, because after you stop wanting things is when having them won't make you go crazy.
Andy Warhol
Image
I'll bet there are a lot of artists that nobody hears about who just make more money than anybody.
Andy Warhol
