The Philosophy of Andy Warhol

“Money is money. It doesn’t matter if I’ve worked hard or easy for it. I spend it the same.”

-Andy Warhol

The Philosophy of Andy Warhol

“In some circles where very heavy people think they have very heavy brains, words like “charming” and “clever” and “pretty” are all put-downs; all the lighter things in life, which are the most important things, are put down.” –Andy Warhol

The Philosophy of Andy Warhol

"If a person isn’t generally considered beautiful, they can still be a success if they have a few jokes in their pockets. And a lot of pockets." -Andy Warhol

The Philosophy of Andy Warhol

"I really don’t care that much about “Beauties”. What I really like are Talkers. Talkers are doing something. Beauties are being something. Which isn’t necessarily bad, it’s just that I don’t know what it is they’re being. It’s more fun to be with people who are doing things." -Andy Warhol

The Philosophy of Andy Warhol

"If you see a person who looks like your teenage fantasy walking down the street, it's probably not your fantasy, but someone who had the same fantasy as you and decided instead of getting it or being it, to look like it, and so he went to the store and bought the look that you both like. So forget it." -Andy Warhol
