So, did I work with Warhol? I worked with him less on that play then I did on other things. He actually did a portrait of my rabbit and some other stuff. Warhol was definitely... Warhol.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
25 years ago, when I started in New York, I had the pleasure to cook for Andy Warhol. At the time, I could have traded art for food - I should have done so, because I could get his work for nothing!
Andy Warhol's art wasn't that interesting to me. He was more interesting to me as a person. He was art himself. I don't even think he was really into art, per se. He may have liked to do it, but I think he was more into people being into him.
For me, Warhol made so much sense.
I'd like to think, that were he alive today, Warhol would be painting the Housewives.
The quality I most loved in Warhol - it was his sense of wonder. I mean, he was - absolutely everything was, 'Oh my God, isn't that wonderful!'. You know, and so it wasn't that he was cool and kind of calculated at all. He was very childlike.
I have done only two portraits: one of the artist Francesco Clemente and another of Andy Warhol.
I love Andy Warhol!
I am Warhol. I am the No. 1 most impactful artist of our generation. I am Shakespeare in the flesh.
If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There's nothing behind it.
You know, one of the only times I ever wrote about art was the obituary of Warhol that I did for the Village Voice.
