I really don't care that much about "Beauties." What I really like are Talkers. To me, good talkers are beautiful because good talk is what I love. The word itself shows why I like Talkers better than Beauties, why I tape more than I film. It's not "talkies." Talkers are doing something.

Pelé is one of the few who contradicted my theory: instead of fifteen minutes of fame, he will have fifteen centuries.

The wide multitude wanted to seem contrarian. It meant that this type of nonconformism had to be mass-produced.

Pop art is about liking things.

If everybody's not a beauty, then nobody is

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.

Pop art is a way of liking things.

Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.

My instinct about painting says, 'if you don't think about it, it's right.' As soon as you have to decide and choose, it's wrong. And the more you decide about, the more wrong it gets.

Business art is the step that comes after Art. I started as a commercial artist, and I want to finish as a business artist.

A friend of mine always says, ‘Women love me for the man I’m not.’

Publicity is like eating peanuts. Once you start you can’t stop.

You'd be surprised how many people want to hang an electric chair on their living-room wall. Specially if the background color matches the drapes.

Voyeurism is a director's job description. It's an artist's, too.

It must be hard to be a model, because you'd want to be like the photograph of you, and you can't ever look that way.

Maybe the reason my memory is so bad is that I always do at least two things at once. It's easier to forget something you only half-did or quarter did.

You can never predict what little things in the way somebody looks or talks or acts will set off peculiar emotional reactions in other people.
