“The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.”

People should fall in love with their eyes closed.

The reason I’m painting this way is that I want to be a machine, and I feel that whatever I do and do machine-like is what I want to do.

I wonder if it’s possible to have a love affair that lasts forever.

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.
