Quote

[My vision of America is] a good vision. Actually the best is on TV. I wanted to shoot all the pictures off the TV. No one would have known the difference.

What we're all looking for is someone who doesn't live there, just pays for it.
Andy Warhol
Image
What I was actually trying to do in my early movies was show how people can meet other people and what they can do and what they can say to each other. That was the whole idea: two people getting acquainted.
Andy Warhol
Image
James Dean was the damaged but beautiful soul of our time.
Andy Warhol

If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There's nothing behind it.

Rodeo Drive is a giant butterscotch sundae.
Andy Warhol
Image
I never wanted to be a painter I wanted to be a tap dancer.

Image
Employees make the best dates. You don't have to pick them up and they're always tax-deductible.
Andy Warhol
Image
I do the same thing everyday. I go to work and paint. I try to turn out as many pictures as I can.
Andy Warhol
Image
I just happen to like ordinary things. When I paint them, I don't try to make them extraordinary. I just try to paint them ordinary-ordina ry.
Andy Warhol
Image
Photographers feel guilty that all they do for a living is press a button.
Andy Warhol
Image
We live in an age when the traditional great subjects - the human form, the landscape, even newer traditions such as abstract expressionism - are daily devalued by commercial art.
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
I met someone on the street who said wasn't it great that we're going to have a movie star for president, that it was so Pop, and (laughs) when you think about it like that, it is great, it's so American.
Andy Warhol
Image
I love the English language just like I love all American things. But I confess that I don't feel confident using complex sentences or big words, hence my famous minimally expressive style - all the gees and laconic answers to interviewers. Most of all, I have developed listening as an art form.
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
Image
...the more you look at the same exact thing, the more the meaning goes away, and the better and emptier you feel.
Andy Warhol
Image
An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he - for some reason - thinks it would be a good idea to give them.
Andy Warhol
Image
Two people kissing always look like fish.
Andy Warhol
Image
I really believe in empty spaces, although, as an artist, I make a lot of junk. Empty space is never-wasted space. Wasted space is any space that has art in it. An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have but that he, for some reason, thinks it would be a good idea to give them.

I used to drink Coke all the time. It was so good. It gives you a lot of energy.
