Andy Warhol

"Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art."

"We live in an age when the traditional great subjects - the human form, the landscape, even newer traditions such as abstract expressionism - are daily devalued by commercial art."

"An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have."

"Art is what you can get away with."

"Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art."

"Don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches."

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

"In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes."

"It's the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look how you feel about it."

"My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person."

"People need to be made more aware of the need to work at learning how to live because life is so quick and sometimes it goes away too quickly."

"They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself."

"When I got my first television set, I stopped caring so much about having close relationships."
