Andy Warhol quotes about
thinking ideas knowing
What I've always wished I'd invented was paper underwear, even knowing that the idea never took off when they did come out with it. I still think it's a good idea, and I don't know why people resist it when they've accepted paper napkins and paper plates and paper curtains and paper towels-it would make more sense not to have to wash out underwear than not to have to wash out towels.
forever lasts goes-on
I never understand how the lipstick business goes on because lipstick lasts forever.
new-york atmosphere selling
New York restaurants are about selling atmospheres.
dream couple good-movie
I can't remember my dreams more than a couple of seconds after I wake up. It's frustrating because sometimes I dream that I'm watching a really good movie.

Traveling makes time go fast. So maybe traveling in space will give people time.
tired giving trying
I get so tired of painting. I've been trying to give it up all the time, if we could just make a living out of movies or the newspaper business or something. It's so boring, painting the same picture over and over.
years might making-time
If you're traveling for five years or something like that, you're going somewhere. But five years are being used up, and you don't have to do anything. You just sit on the plane. That might make time go really fast.
scared vote
I went to vote once, but I got too scared. I couldn't decide whom to vote for.
making-time time-goes-by
I really like to work a lot. It makes time go by fast.
ideas people faces
I do mostly portraits. So it's just people's faces, not really any ideas.
old-things new-things
New things are always better than old things.
thinking way firsts
I think the first photograph I did was a ballplayer. It was a way of showing action or something.
drug shots hospitals
When I was in the hospital after I was shot they gave me drugs, but it was so great to get off those.
hate firsts height
I really hate heights. I always like to live on the first floor.
