Andy Warhol Quotes

I believe that Ryan Murphy is a genius. His instincts remind me of Andy Warhol. I recently went to the Warhol museum in Pittsburgh, and you can see a lot of echoes of Andy in Ryan’s work. Like Andy, Ryan’s finger is so on the pulse of culture that he’s ahead of culture. Their aesthetic and their vision of the world are very similar Picture Quote #1

But what was interesting about what the Who did is that we took things which were happening in the pop genre and represent them to people so that they see them in a new way. I think the best example is Andy Warhol’s work, the image of Marilyn Monroe or the Campbell’s soup can Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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.’ Picture Quote #1

I love Los Angeles. I love Hollywood. They’re beautiful. Everybody’s plastic, but I love plastic. I want to be plastic Picture Quote #1

I never understood why when you died, you didn’t just vanish, 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.’ Picture Quote #1

If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There’s nothing behind it Picture Quote #1

As a composer and as a musician I’m a true believer - and this is not to be overly diplomatic - I’m a believer that there’s artistry in everything from a lawn gnome to a desk chair to a symphony to an Andy Warhol painting. There’s art in absolutely everything Picture Quote #1

I went to the big Picasso retrospective at the Tate in the sixties, and I think I went to an Andy Warhol retrospective at the Tate in the sixties, too. My mother was very good at taking me to things like that. We lived in Reading, but we went on these cultural trips to London Picture Quote #1

It’s high time for the art world to admit that the avant-garde is dead. It was killed by my hero, Andy Warhol, who incorporated into his art all the gaudy commercial imagery of capitalism (like Campbell’s soup cans) that most artists had stubbornly scorned Picture Quote #1

I was a product of Andy Warhol’s Factory. All I did was sit there and observe these incredibly talented and creative people who were continually making art, and it was impossible not to be affected by that Picture Quote #1

Edward Smith: What do you think is the characteristic of a really nice person? Some people you obviously do like more than others. Andy Warhol: Ummm, well, if they talk a lot. ES: What, and don’t make you talk? AW: Yeah, yes, that’s a really nice person Picture Quote #1

Hey, Cunningham - Andy Warhol called. You’re at 14:55 and we’re tickin’ big-time here, Chachi Picture Quote #1

I keep mementos from everything I’ve done. I’ve got my cab driver’s license from ‘Happiness.’ I’ve got a pair of glasses and a belt buckle from playing John Lennon. I’ve got a pair of sunglasses from playing Andy Warhol... It’s all in a box in the garage Picture Quote #1

You’d be surprised how many people want to hang an electric chair on their living-room wall. Specially if the background color matches the drapes Picture Quote #1

I love it when you ask actors, ‘What are you Doing now?’ and they say ‘I’m between roles’. To be living ‘life between roles’ that’s my favorite Picture Quote #1

I’m seeking out a new way to live and if it’s surfing, that’s the way I’ll do it. I’ll be a surfer for the rest of my life Picture Quote #1

Realism is always subjective in film. There’s no such thing as cinema verite. The only true cinema verite would be what Andy Warhol did with his film about the Empire State Building - eight hours or so from one angle, and even then it’s not really cinema verite, because you aren’t actually there Picture Quote #1

You know what Andy Warhol’s sole contribution to this country has been? He made Campbell’s Soup a household word Picture Quote #1

You have to [go outside your comfort zone]. Andy Warhol said ‘say yes to everything’ Picture Quote #1

If Abstract Expression reached for the sublime, Pop turned ordinary imagery into icons.

Eugene Mirman is the Andy Warhol of comedy. People look to him for what’s next in comedy, and he emails these people back promptly. The Will to Whatevs put me in a great mood because I was laughing out loud. Alone. That’s hard to do Picture Quote #1

I could write an entirely new book about Andy Warhol, but I don’t think I will. I certainly don’t think Nancy Reagan would like that, as she’s been patiently waiting for Volume 2 of my chronicle of the life of her and Ronnie Picture Quote #1

He [Andy Warhol] engaged people and I think all of that is what helped keep him keyed in to the times beyond all of the celebrity stuff that was going on around him. He was much more like a fan than a celebrity himself Picture Quote #1

A lot of people found themselves working at the Factory and some even in his bed as a result of random occurrences like your call. Most famous artists have never been all that interested in meeting strangers. That was not the case with Andy Warhol at all Picture Quote #1
