Some of my favorite quotes by Andy Warhol

Machine's have less problems. I'd like to be a machine, wouldn't you ?

I like boring things


I want to invent a new kind fast food, and I was thinking, what about a waffle thing that had the food on one side and the drink on the other - like ham and Coke? You could eat and drink at the same time.


In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.

After work I just stayed in. Watched 20/20 and instead of saying, "In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes," it was so funny to hear Hugh Downs say, "As Andy Warhol once said, in fifteen minutes everybody will be famous." People on TV always get some part wrong, like - "In the future fifteen people will be famous."


I love Los Angeles. I love Hollywood. They're beautiful. Everybody's plastic, but I love plastic. I want to be plastic.

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


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.

Dying is the most embarrasing thing that can ever happen to you, because someone's got to take care of all your details.


You can see a billboard for Tab and think:
Nancy Reagan drinks Tab, Gloria Vanderbilt drinks Tab,
Jackie Onassis drinks Tab, and just think, you can drink Tab too.
Tab is Tab and no matter how rich you are,
you can't get a better one than the one the homeless
woman on the corner is drinking. All the Tabs are the same.
And all the Tabs are good. Nancy Reagan knows it,
Gloria Vanderbilt knows it, Jackie Onassis knows it,
Katharine Hepburn knows it, the baglady knows it
and you know it.
