Quote

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.

Image
Even beauties can be unattractive. If you catch a beauty in the wrong light at the right time, forget it. I believe in low lights and trick mirrors. I believe in plastic surgery.
Andy Warhol
Image
I love going out every night. It’s so exciting.
Andy Warhol
Image
When I did my self-portrait, I left all the pimples out because you always should. Pimples are a temporary condition and they don't have anything to do with what you really look like. Always omit the blemishes-they're not part of the good picture you want.
Andy Warhol
Image
Uptown is for people who have already done something. Downtown is where they’re doing something now. I live uptown but I love downtown.
Andy Warhol
Image
There are beautiful sounds in rock. Very lazy, dreamlike noises. You can forget about the lyrics in most songs. Just dig the noise, and you've got your sound...We're musical primitives.
Andy Warhol
Image
You can never predict what little things in the way somebody looks or talks or acts will set off peculiar emotional reactions in other people.
Andy Warhol
Image
Sociological critics are waste makers.
Andy Warhol
Image
You could never be an adolescent if you don't look like one.
Andy Warhol
Image
I like to work when I'm not working - do something that may not be considered work, but to me it's work. Getting exercise by going to the grocery store.
Andy Warhol

Everybody winds up kissing the wrong person good-night.
Andy Warhol

Art? That's a man's name.
Andy Warhol
Image
It must be hard to be a model, because you'd want to be like the photograph of you, and you can't ever look that way.
Andy Warhol
Image
The President has so much good publicity potential that hasn't been exploited. He should just sit down one day and make a list of all the things that people are embarrassed to do that they shouldn't be embarrassed to do, and then do them all on television.
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
If everyone isn't beautiful, then no one is.
Andy Warhol
Image
I like church. It's empty when I go. I walk around. There are so many beautiful Catholic churches in New York.
Andy Warhol
Image
Empty space is never-wasted space. Wasted space is any space that has art in it.
Andy Warhol
Image
Success is when the checks don’t bounce.
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.

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.
