Andy Warhol

The most exciting thing is not doing it. If you fall in love with someone and never do it, it's much more exciting.

I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life.

Buying is much more American than thinking.

I never fall apart because I never fall together.

I think I'm still the same. I just look in the mirror and see Andy Warhol. Every day is the same.

Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.

I have a social disease. I have to go out every night.

I'm obsessed with the idea of looking, just looking.

Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, 'So what.'

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 like to be the right thing in the wrong place and the wrong thing in the right place.

I think a lot of people are born to do certain things, and I was born to be a tap dancer or something.

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 have a Tomato Juice philosophy: I watch things until they become interesting.

Land really is the best art.

I'm not a painter. I'm a machine.

I think it would be so great if more people took up silk screens so that no one would know whether my picture was mine or somebody else's.

I want to be a machine, don't you?

I'm for mechanical art. When I took up silk screening, it was to more fully exploit the preconceived image through the commercial techniques of multiple reproduction.

I'm not a professional. I'm a personality.
