Quote

I'm starting to think that the men are the ones who should wear the big jewelry because they can defend it better when it's robbed. They should wear the big diamonds. You can show how much of a man you are, because the bigger the diamond, the stronger you have to be to defend it.

I still care about people but it would be so much easier not to care. I don't want to get too close I don't like to touch things.
Andy Warhol

I think kids should go to high school until they're 30. No, really, because people are staying younger now and there's nothing to do. If you stayed longer, then it would be really great.

I think video is the best market. When the cassette market comes out, if you just do movies that nobody else can do, that'll be the new way.

People sometimes say that the way things happen in the movies is unreal, but actually, it's the way things happen to you in life that's unreal. The movies make emotions look strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it's like you're watching television -- you don't feel anything.

The teachers liked me. In grade school, they make you copy pictures from books. I think the first one was Robert Louis Stevenson.

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.

I never understand how the lipstick business goes on because lipstick lasts forever.

If you wear a wig, everybody notices. But if you then dye the wig, people notice the dye.

When I look around today, the biggest anachronism I see is pregnancy. I just can't believe that people are still pregnant.

If you can convince yourself that you look fabulous, you can save yourself the trouble of primping.
Andy Warhol

The childlike, gum-chewing naivete, the glamour rooted in despair, the self-admiring carelessness, the perfected otherness, the wispiness, the shadowy, voyeuristic, vaguely sinister aura, the pale, soft-spoken magical presence, the skin and bones . . .
Andy Warhol

...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.
