Andy Warhol

I think it would be very glamorous to be reincarnated as a big ring on Elizabeth Taylor's finger.

I don't know where the artificial stops and the real starts.

I'm a very social person, but I don't like to talk.

I really don't have anything to say. I'm just here to look good.

The more you look at the same thing, the more the meaning goes away, and the better and emptier you feel.

I like money on the wall. Say you were going to buy a $200,000 painting. I think you should take that money, tie it up, and hang it on the wall. Then when someone visits, the first thing they see is the money on the wall.

I think an artist is anybody who does something well, like if you cook well.

I don't believe in art. I believe in artists.

I want to be like a machine.

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

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 decided that I wasn't going to spend my life doing something I didn't want to do.

I like to be alone. I'm not a social person.

I never understood why when you died, you didn't just vanish, everything should just keep going on the way it was only you just wouldn't be there.

Sex is the biggest nothing of all time.

What's great about this country is America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you can know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too.

I'd prefer to remain a mystery. I never give my background, and, anyway, I make it all up different every time I'm asked.

When I look around today, the biggest anachronism I see is pregnancy.

People sometimes say that the way things happen in the movies is unreal, but actually, it's the way things happen to you in life that's unreal. The movies make emotions look strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it's like you're watching television -- you don't feel anything.

I have Social Disease.
