I am Warhol. I am the No. 1 most impactful artist of our generation. I am Shakespeare in the flesh.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
Andy Warhol made fame more famous.
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.
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.
Andy Warhol defined Pop Art.
You know, one of the only times I ever wrote about art was the obituary of Warhol that I did for the Village Voice.
Shakespeare has been praised in English more than anything mortal except poetry itself. Fame exhausts thought in his eulogy.
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'm probably much more influenced by film-makers and painters than I am by other songwriters or poets.
