Quote

So many people seem to prefer my silver-screenings of movie stars to the rest of my work. It must be the subject matter that attracts them, because my death and violence paintings are just as good.

...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
I think every painting should be the same size and the same color so they're all interchangeable and nobody thinks they have a better painting or a worse painting.... Besides even when the subject is different, people want the same painting.
Andy Warhol
Image
Everything will be art and nothing will be art, because everything, as I believe, already is.
Andy Warhol
Image
Once you 'got' Pop, you could never see a sign again the same way again. And once you thought Pop, you could never see America the same way again.
Andy Warhol
Image
Every song has a memory every song has the ability to make or break your heart, shut down the heart, and open the eyes. But I’m afraid if you look at a thing long enough it loses all of its meaning
Andy Warhol

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
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
Fantasy love is much better than Reality Love.
Andy Warhol
Image
I think an artist is anybody who does something well, like if you cook well.
Andy Warhol
Image
Maybe the reason my memory is so bad is that I always do at least two things at once. It's easier to forget something you only half-did or quarter did.
Andy Warhol
Image
They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
Andy Warhol
Image
In the early days of film, fans used to idolize a whole star - they would take one star and love everything about that star ... Today people can idolize a star in one area and forget about him in another. A big rock star might sell millions and millions of records, but then if he makes a bad movie ... forget it.
Andy Warhol

Voyeurism is a director's job description. It's an artist's, too.
Andy Warhol
Image
I think the first photograph I did was a ballplayer. It was a way of showing action or something.
Andy Warhol
Image
...after you stop wanting things is when having them won't make you go crazy. After you stop wanting them is when you can handle having them. Or before. But never during. If you get things when you really want them, you go crazy. Everything becomes distorted when something you really want is sitting in your lap.
Andy Warhol

Everything is more glamorous when you do it in bed anyway.
Andy Warhol
Image
Those who talk about individuality the most are the ones who most object to deviation, and in a few years it may be the other way around. Some day everybody will just think what they want to think, and then everybody will probably be thinking alike that seems to be what is happening.
Andy Warhol

It would be great to be super-human, to give the fans just what they want.
Andy Warhol

People in uniform always look so great.

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
