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
Image
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.

Why do people spend their time being sad when they could be happy?
Andy Warhol
