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. (Andy Warhol)

Andy Warhol
If you wear a wig, everybody notices. But if you then dye the wig, people notice the dye. View quote
Andy Warhol
Human beings are born solitary, but everywhere they are in chains - daisy chains - of interactivity. Social actions are makeshift forms, often courageous, sometimes ridiculous, always strange. And in a way, every social action is a negotiation, a compromise between 'his,' 'her' or 'their' wish and yours. View quote
Andy Warhol
I just happen to like ordinary things. When I paint them, I don't try to make them extraordinary. I just try to paint them ordinary-ordina ry. View quote
Andy Warhol
Love and sex can go together and sex and unlove can go together and love and unsex can go together. But personal love and personal sex is bad. View quote
Andy Warhol
I'll bet there are a lot of artists that nobody hears about who just make more money than anybody. The people that do all the sculptures and paintings for big building construction. We never hear about them, but they make more money than anybody. View quote
Andy Warhol
I like to work when I'm not working - do something that may not be considered work, but to me it's work. Getting exercise by going to the grocery store. View quote
Andy Warhol
I always like to see if the art across the street is better than mine. View quote
Andy Warhol
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. View quote

I think they should have movies in restaurants. I can't believe that so many people get together just to sit there. It's so abstract... isn't it abstract? What are these people sitting here watching? View quote

Sociological critics are waste makers. View quote
Andy Warhol
I think Chris Burden is terrific. I really do. View quote
Andy Warhol
I've been invited to the White House about five times. I think the greatest thing would be if they actually invited everybody to the White House every night... they'd just take about 500 people a night. Everybody would just love this country because it's so thrilling to go there. It really is. View quote

Andy Warhol
At the times in my life when I was feeling the most gregarious and looking for bosom friendships, I couldn't find any takers so that exactly when I was alone was when I felt the most like not being alone. The moment I decided I'd rather be alone and not have anyone telling me their problems, everybody I'd never even seen before in my life started running after me to tell me things I'd just decided I didn't think it was a good idea to hear about. As soon as I became a loner in my own mind, that's when I got what you might call a "following." (Andy Warhol)
We went to see 'Dr No' [first James Bond film, 1962] at Fort-Second Street. It's a fantastic movie, so cool. We walked outside and somebody threw a cherry bomb right in front of us, in this big crowd. And there was blood. I saw blood on people and all over. I felt like I was bleeding all over. I saw in the paper last week that there are more people throwing them - it's just part of the scene - and hurting people. My show in Paris is to be called 'Death in America. View quote
Andy Warhol
Therefore, everything seen – every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it – is a Duchamp. Turn it over and it is. View quote

Andy Warhol
When I have to think about it, I know the picture is wrong. And sizing is a form of thinking and coloring is too. My instinct about painting says, 'If you don't think about it, it's right.' View quote
