Your Quotes for 8 August 2005 - Andy Warhol

Andrew Warhola was born at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on this day in 1928. He trained in commercial art at the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie-Mellon University) and started his career as a magazine illustrator at Manhattan. As he moved into fine art he established The Factory which served both as the production center for his arts and prints but a gathering place for various music and fashion stars. Warhol focused on celebrities and cultural icons, and forced us to look at the Campbell soup can in a way that no one else ever could.

If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface: of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There's nothing behind it.

Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?

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

I'm the type who'd be happy not going anywhere as long as I was sure I knew exactly what was happening at the places I wasn't going to. I'm the type who'd like to sit home and watch every party that I'm invited to on a monitor in my bedroom.

Buying is much more American than thinking and I'm as American as they come.

I am a deeply superficial person.
     - All from Andy Warhol, 1928 - 1987
