Beauty really has to do with the way a person carries it off
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'm for mechanical art. When I took up silk screening, it was to more fully exploit the preconceived image through the commercial techniques of multiple reproduction.
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
Art? That's a man's name.
Andy Warhol
Image
Everybody does the same thing over and over again. I like to do the same thing every day.
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.
Andy Warhol
Image
People are always calling me a mirror and if a mirror looks into a mirror, what is there to see?
Andy Warhol
Image
The idea of America is so wonderful because the more equal something is, the more American it is
Andy Warhol
Image
Being born is like being kidnapped. And then sold into slavery.
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
Everything is more glamorous when you do it in bed anyway.
Andy Warhol
Image
The world fascinates me.
Andy Warhol
Image
Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.
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
Pop art is a way of liking things.
Andy Warhol
Image
At the times in my life when I was feeling the most gregarious and looking for bosom friendships, I couldn't find any takers, so that exactly when I was alone was when I felt the most like not being alone... I became a loner in my own mind... I decided I'd rather be alone.
Andy Warhol
Image
When I look around today, the biggest anachronism I see is pregnancy. I just can't believe that people are still pregnant.
Andy Warhol
Image
Since I was shot, everything is such a dream to me. Like I don't know whether I'm alive or whether I died. I wasn't afraid before. And having been dead once, I shouldn't feel fear. But I am afraid. I don't understand why.
Andy Warhol

The biggest price you pay for love is that you have to have somebody around, you can't be on your own, wich is always so much better.
Andy Warhol
