Andy Warhol quotes about
queens women people
Among other things, drag queens are living testimony to the way women used to want to be, the way some people still want them to be, and the way some women still actually want to be. Drags are ambulatory archives of ideal moviestar womanhood. They perform a documentary service, usually consecrating their lives to keeping the glittering alternative alive and available for (not-too-close) inspection.
night going-out exciting
I love going out every night. It’s so exciting.
ideas forever live-forever
The idea is not to live forever, it is to create something that will
problem film ifs
If there's ever a problem, I film it and it's no longer a problem. It's a film.
dream art things-to-do
I loved working when I worked at commercial art and they told you what to do and how to do it and all you had to do was correct it and they'd say yes or no. The hard thing is when you have to dream up the tasteless things to do on your own.
thinking people marketing

fascination kind certain
One person in the 60s fascinated me more than anybody I had ever known. And the fascination I experienced was probably very close to a certain kind of love
surfing way surfer
I'm seeking out a new way to live and if it's surfing, that's the way I'll do it. I'll be a surfer for the rest of my life.
party home commercial-art
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.
tombstone artist names
I never understood why when you died, you didn't just vanish, everything could just keep going on the way it was only you just wouldn't be there. I always thought I'd like my own tombstone to be blank. No epitaph, and no name. Well, actually, I'd like it to say 'figment.'
country artist commercial-art
What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest.
pregnancy believe people
When I look around today, the biggest anachronism I see is pregnancy. I just can't believe that people are still pregnant.
old-things new-things
New things are always better than old things.
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.
