“Most people in America think Art is a man’s name.”

Success is when the checks don’t bounce.

But I always say, one’s company, two’s a crowd, and three’s a party

Pop art is about liking things.

I’ve never met a person I’ve couldn’t call a beauty.

When people are ready to, they change. They never do it before then, and sometimes they die before they get around to it. You can’t make them change if they don’t want to, just like when they do want to, you can’t stop them.

A picture means I know where I was every minute. That’s why I take pictures. It’s a visual diary.

Everybody winds up kissing the wrong person good-night.

I wanted to paint nothing. I was looking for something that was the essence of nothing, and the soup can was it.

If you’re not trying to be real, you don’t have to get it right. That’s art.

Fantasy love is much better than Reality Love.

Since I was shot, everything is such a dream to me. Like I don’t know whether I’m alive or whether I died. I wasn’t afraid before. And having been dead once, I shouldn’t feel fear. But I am afraid. I don’t understand why.

Art is what you can get away with.

And your own life while it’s happening to you never has any atmosphere until it’s a memory.

It’s not what you are that counts, it’s what they think you are.

Being born is like being kidnapped. And then sold into slavery. People are working every minute. The machinery is always going. Even when you sleep.

The idea of America is so wonderful because the more equal something is, the more American it is.
