Warhol Quotes

Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.

I just do art because I’m ugly and there’s nothing else for me to do.

~ Andy Warhol

I see art in everything. Your shoes. That car. This coffee cup. It's art if you see it as art.

If I ever have to cast an acting role, I want the wrong person for the part. I can never visualize the right person in a part. The right person for the right part would be too much. Besides, no person is every completely right for any part, because part in a role is never real, so if you can't get someone who's perfectly right, it's more satisfying to get someone who's perfectly wrong. Then you know you've really got something.

~ Andy Warhol

In the post-Warhol era a single gesture such as uncrossing one's legs will have more significance than all the pages in War and Peace.

~ J.g. Ballard
