It's the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look how you feel about it.

As soon as you stop wanting something, you get it.

You should always have a product that has nothing to do with who you are or what people think about you... so that you never start thinking that your product is you, or your fame or your aura.

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.

Art? That's a man's name.

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.

Switzerland is my favorite place now, because it's so -- nothing. There is absolutely nothing to do.

I went to vote once, but I got too scared. I couldn't decide whom to vote for.

The idea of waiting for something makes it more exciting.

Once you 'got' Pop, you could never see a sign again the same way again. And once you thought Pop, you could never see America the same way again.

I have Social Disease. I have to go out every night. If I stay home one night I start spreading rumors to my dogs.

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.'

I think kids should go to high school until they're 30. No, really, because people are staying younger now and there's nothing to do. If you stayed longer, then it would be really great.

I like to be the right thing in the wrong space and the wrong thing in the right space. But usually being the right thing in the wrong space and the wrong thing in the right space is worth it, because something funny always happens.

I think video is the best market. When the cassette market comes out, if you just do movies that nobody else can do, that'll be the new way.

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

The pop artists did images that anybody walking down Broadway could recognize in a split second -- comics, picnic tables, men's trousers, celebrities, shower curtains, refrigerators, Coke bottles. All the great modern things that the Abstract Expressionists tried not to notice at all.

The symptom of love is when some of the chemicals inside you go bad. So there must be something in love because your chemicals do tell you something.
