Warhol’s friend George Plimpton said, “What always struck me
about Andy was how ill-suited he was for success — pasty-faced, a
white wig, fragile, a body crisscrossed with scars from an assassination
attempt, gay, shy, faltering of speech, nonassertive, so unsure of himself
that in 1967 he sent an impersonator
on a ‘Warhol’ lecture tour. He was, in fact, perfectly equipped
to slide into utter obscurity.”
Quotations
from Andy Warhol:
“I want everybody to think alike. I think everybody
should be a machine.”
“I like boring things.”
“I think somebody should be able to do all my
paintings for me.”
