When you're interested in somebody, and you think they might be interested in you, you should point out all your beauty problems and defects right away, rather than take a chance they won't notice them... On the other hand, say you have a purely temporary beauty problem—a new pimple, lackluster hair, no-sleep eyes, five extra pounds around the middle. Still, whatever it is, you should point it out... If you don't point out these things they might think that your temporary beauty problem is a permanent beauty problem... If they really do like you for yourself, they'll be willing to use their imagination to think of what you must look like without your temporary beauty problem.

I'm confused about who the news belongs to. I always have it in my head that if your name's in the news, then the news should be paying you. Because it's your news and they're taking it and selling it as their product. But then they always say that they're helping you, and that's true too, but still, if people didn't give the news their news, and if everybody kept their news to themselves, the news wouldn't have any news. So I guess you should pay each other. But I haven't figured it out fully yet.

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

If an artist can't do anymore, then he should just quit; and an artist ought to be able to change his style without feeling bad. I heard that Lichtenstein said he might not be painting comic strips a year of two from now [1963]. I think that would be so great, to be able to change styles. And I think that's what's going to happen; that's going to be the whole new scene.

I think video is the best market. When the cassette market comes out, if you just do movies that nobody else can do, that'll be the new way.

Andy Warhol
Living in New York City gives people real incentives to want things that nobody else wants.

Andy Warhol
I'd rather do new stuff. The old stuff is better to talk about than to see. It always sounds better than it really is.

I like church. It's empty when I go. I walk around. There are so many beautiful Catholic churches in New York.
