Andy Warhol

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

“So many people seem to prefer my silver-screenings of movie stars to the rest of my work. It must be the subject matter that attracts them, because my death and violence paintings are just as good.”

“We live in an age when the traditional great subjects - the human form, the landscape, even newer traditions such as abstract expressionism - are daily devalued by commercial art.”

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

“Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.”

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

“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 afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.”

“Land really is the best art.”

“Art is what you can get away with.”

“If you're not trying to be real, you don't have to get it right. That's art.”

“Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.”

“In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.”

“I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own.”

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

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

“Don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches.”

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

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

“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.”

“An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.”
