What this quote means

Andy Warhol highlights the beauty of the in-between moments of life, suggesting that the time spent waiting or 'being between roles' is valuable in its own right. It encourages us to appreciate the transitions and pauses that occur in our lives, as they often shape our experiences and perspectives just as much as the roles we actively play.
