Andy Warhol

I think that if you're going to be an artist, you have to be a little bit confident.

I think that if you're going to be an artist, you have to be a little bit self-assured.

I think that if you're going to be an artist, you have to be a little bit independent.

I think that if you're going to be an artist, you have to be a little bit rebellious.

I've never met a person I couldn't make a star.

I'm a very social person, but I'm also very shy.

I just do art because I think it's a good way to get rich.

I'd prefer to remain a mystery. I'm just a person.

I always thought I was a good person. I always thought I was a nice person.

I'm not a pop artist. I'm an artist who uses pop.

It's not what you do, it's who you know.

I never understood why when you died, you didn't just vanish, and everything could just keep going on the way it was only you just wouldn't be there. I always thought I'd like my own tombstone to be blank. No epitaph, and no name. Well, actually, I'd like it to say 'figment'.

I love to work. I love to make money.

I like money on the wall.

I'm not interested in art that's just for art's sake.

I like people who are famous and rich.

I think it's very important to have a good agent.

I'm not a political person. I'm an observer.

I think that if you're going to be an artist, you have to be a little bit of a con artist.

I'm not a very good speaker. I'm a very good listener.
