Andy Warhol

1. "An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have." ‘
2. "Being born is like being kidnapped. And then sold into slavery."
3. “Don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches.”
4. "Dying is the most embarrassing thing that can ever happen to you, because someone's got to take care of all your details."
5. "Fantasy love is much better than reality love. Never doing it is very exciting. The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet."
6. ”I like boring things.”
7. "I am a deeply superficial person."
8. “I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.”
9. "Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?"
10. "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."
11. "People sometimes say that the way things happen in the movies is unreal, but actually it's the way things happen to you in life that's unreal. The movies make emotions look so strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it's like watching television -- you don't feel anything."
12. “Sex is more exciting on the screen and between the pages than between the sheets.”
13. "The day will come when everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes."
14. “The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.”
15. "The nicer I am, the more people think I'm lying."
16. “They always say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.”
17. “You need to let little things that would ordinarily bore you suddenly thrill you.”
