Andy Warhol

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

Art? That's a man's name.

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

I used to think that everything was just being funny but now I don't know. I mean, how can you tell?

Being born is like being kidnapped. And then sold into slavery.

I always hear myself saying, 'She's a beauty!' or 'He's a beauty!' or 'What a beauty!' but I never know what I'm talking about.

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.

People sometimes say the way things happen in the movies is unreal, but actually, it's the way things happen to you in life that's unreal.

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?

What's great about this country is that 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.

People need to be made more aware of the need to work at learning how to live because life is so quick and sometimes it goes away too quickly.

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.

Land really is the best art.

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

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

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

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

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.
