Zitat des Tages von Andy Warhol:
Dying is the most embarrassing thing that can ever happen to you, because someone's got to take care of all your details.
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.
During the 1960s, I think, people forgot what emotions were supposed to be. And I don't think they've ever remembered.
I'm bored with that line. I never use it anymore. My new line is 'In 15 minutes everybody will be famous.'
Since people are going to be living longer and getting older, they'll just have to learn how to be babies longer.
What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest.
The most exciting thing is not doing it. If you fall in love with someone and never do it, it's much more exciting.
It would be very glamorous to be reincarnated as a great big ring on Liz Taylor's finger.
I used to think that everything was just being funny but now I don't know. I mean, how can you tell?
Sex is more exciting on the screen and between the pages than between the sheets.
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.
An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.
I think the first photograph I did was a ballplayer. It was a way of showing action or something.
I like boring things.
The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.
I think kids should go to high school until they're 30. No, really, because people are staying younger now and there's nothing to do. If you stayed longer, then it would be really great.
In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.
I love Los Angeles, and I love Hollywood. They're beautiful. Everybody's plastic, but I love plastic. I want to be plastic.
I've decided something: Commercial things really do stink. As soon as it becomes commercial for a mass market it really stinks.
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.'
My fascination with letting images repeat and repeat - or in film's case 'run on' - manifests my belief that we spend much of our lives seeing without observing.
They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
I always wished I had died, and I still wish that, because I could have gotten the whole thing over with.
Once you 'got' Pop, you could never see a sign again the same way again. And once you thought Pop, you could never see America the same way again.

I am a deeply superficial person.
Employees make the best dates. You don't have to pick them up and they're always tax-deductible.
Don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches.
Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?
Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there - I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life. Right when I was being shot and ever since, I knew that I was watching television.
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.
I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.
I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of 'work', because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don't always want to do. The machinery is always going. Even when you sleep.
My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person.
I have Social Disease. I have to go out every night. If I stay home one night I start spreading rumors to my dogs.
I had a lot of dates but I decided to stay home and dye my eyebrows.
