Andy Warhol

It's great not to be a collector.
Andy Warhol

The key of the success of Studio 54 is that it’s a dictatorship at the door and a democracy on the dance floor.
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
The teachers liked me. In grade school, they make you copy pictures from books. I think the first one was Robert Louis Stevenson.
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.
