Andy Warhol

I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of 'work, ' because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don't always want to do. The machinery is always going. Even when you sleep.

When I got my first television set, I stopped caring so much about having close relationships.

It's the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look how you feel about it.

I'd asked around 10 or 15 people for suggestions. Finally one lady friend asked the right question, 'Well, what do you love most?' That's how I started painting money.

Fantasy love is much better than reality love. Never doing it is very exciting. The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.

People need to be made more aware of the need to work at learning how to live because life is so quick and sometimes it goes away too quickly.

I had a lot of dates but I decided to stay home and dye my eyebrows.

I have Social Disease. I have to go out every night. If I stay home one night I start spreading rumors to my dogs.

I'm the type who'd be happy not going anywhere as long as I was sure I knew exactly what was happening at the places I wasn't going to. I'm the type who'd like to sit home and watch every party that I'm invited to on a monitor in my bedroom.

What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest.

It would be very glamorous to be reincarnated as a great big ring on Liz Taylor's finger.

I used to think that everything was just being funny but now I don't know. I mean, how can you tell?

In the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.

My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person.

I'm bored with that line. I never use it anymore. My new line is 'In 15 minutes everybody will be famous.'

Everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.

Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?

They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.

Employees make the best dates. You don't have to pick them up and they're always tax-deductible.

Land really is the best art.
