Image
I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of 'work,' because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don't always want to do. The machinery is always going. Even when you sleep.
Andy Warhol
Image
I was trying to think the other day about what you do now in America if you want to be successful. Before, you were dependable and wore a good suit. Looking around, I guess that today you have to do all the same things but not wear a good suit. I guess that's all it is. Think rich. Look poor.
Andy Warhol
Image
If I had gone ahead and died ten years ago, I'd probably be a cult figure today.
Andy Warhol
Image
I never fall apart, because I never fall together.
Andy Warhol
Image
You can be just as faithful to a place or a thing as you can to a person. A place can really make your heart skip a beat, especially if you have to take a plane to get there.

The mosquito is the state bird of New Jersey.

Image
I always hear myself saying , 'She's a beauty!' or 'He's a beauty!' or 'What a beauty!' but I never know what I'm talking about.
Andy Warhol

Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there - I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life. Right when I was being shot and ever since, I knew that I was watching television.
Andy Warhol
Image
I can never get over when you're on the beach how beautiful the sand looks and the water washes it away and straightens it up and the trees and the grass all look great. I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own.

Image
Pelé is one of the few who contradicted my theory: instead of fifteen minutes of fame, he will have fifteen centuries.
Andy Warhol
Image
The idea of America is so wonderful because the more equal something is, the more American it is
Andy Warhol
Image
Brigitte Bardot was one of the first women to be really modern and treat men like love objects, buying them and discarding them. I like that.
Andy Warhol
Image
Don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches.
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
People are always so boring when they band together. You have to be alone to develop all the idiosyncrasies that make a person interesting.
Andy Warhol
Image
The mystery was gone but the amazement was just starting.
Andy Warhol
Image
I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD BE BUGGED ALL THE TIME...BUGGED AND PHOTOGRAPHED
Andy Warhol
Image
Sometimes something can look beautiful just because it's different in some way from the other things around it. One red petunia in a window box will look very beautiful if all the rest of them are white, and vice-versa.

The clothes of Courreges are so nice.
Andy Warhol

I do the same thing everyday. I go to work and paint. I try to turn out as many pictures as I can.
