- Big
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You don't put your personal viewpoints in a good movie. A movie should only be concerned with characters, not some big moral, although it's always underneath.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think it's absurd to believe that movies should look like paintings and say something like serious books say something.
- Everything
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Rome has New York's formlessness, aimlessness, a kind of hard-boiled sophistication, blase about everything. In their filmmaking, too, the Italians have this tongue-in-cheek sense of comedy.
- Decadent
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was brought up with TV comedians. I'll remember them till I go to my grave, all those comedians, as decadent fluff.
- Live
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If I thought about planning, I'd plan movies. If I thought about planning my life, I'd plan my life more rationally, not like New Yorkers who live their lives so irrationally, without reason. Maybe that's the connection between my movies and New York: the movies have the same kind of lack of overall design.
- Back
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I like the idea of stepping back into another time period.
- Democrats
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Democrats tax anything that moves.
- Funny
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Andy was a character, and the two of us did have some things in common. We appreciated funny things, didn't like serious things.
- Change
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've always been an independent producer. I'd kind of like to be hired help for a change. I don't mind that.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Most of the time, I leave the camera on the obvious special effects, like the rubber bodies, so that it become obvious they're not real.
- Fashion
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Andy was not a hippie or rebel but more like a mischievous child. He was never out to destroy everything. He became a New Yorker, and New Yorkers know, like the media, what's going on around them is a fashion thing that will change to something else.
- Help
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What made Andy famous was the years I managed him. I created the Velvet Underground and told him not to worry about them because they would help his career. All those things I did created his fame.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The people of Pittsburgh should have a weekend flea market at the Warhol. Andy would have loved that kind of stuff.
- Personality
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Andy was an offbeat personality, shy and insecure. The whole reason for taking a camera with him wherever he went was because he was so shy. He'd break the ice by taking pictures.
- Person
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Andy was a nonverbal person; you couldn't get directions out of him. All he knew was what was modern in art was what wasn't art: The telephone was art, the pizza was art, but what was hanging on walls in museums wasn't art.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's something about all the films that I have made in that they don't seem old or dated, and some people mention that.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People treat serious subjects so seriously, which is so obvious a way of dealing with them. I'm always thinking that the best way of dealing with them is to show people as human beings.
- Independent
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've always stayed independent, but I've always felt an obligation to make movies an untutored audience could like.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
So many things go on in life that never find their way into the movies because so much of it is unappealing. But that's what I want to show.
- Censorship
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not against censorship in principle. Not at all. Some things should be censored.
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not anti-Hollywood; not at all. In fact, I'm rather fascinated by everything that goes on here. When I get hold of a copy of 'Variety,' I read it cover to cover; I love to know what people are doing.
- Drafts
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's a debilitating process, working with the studios. With the length of time it takes for drafts and development deals, your enthusiasm is gone before you're ready to make the film.
- Peculiar
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Nico was peculiar. She was extraordinary.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Andy was not a director and not a writer. He operated the camera a little bit, and he wasn't even so good at that.
- Getting
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We are always getting photos and publicity from people who want to act in Andy's movies. We always throw them away. They don't seem to realize that the last thing we'd put into a movie is an actor. Because all the other movies use actors.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I did say to myself one day, 'I'd love to be a Jewish comedian,' but that's my only memory with any connection to show business.
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My sense is that you can make a film under almost any circumstances. As long as someone has a vague idea of what he's doing, something distinctive will emerge. That, to me, is what film making is all about.
- Camera
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If a person is in front of a camera, they're acting. It's not possible to live in front of a camera.
