Interview with Andy Warhol June 11th 1986

'Andy, first and foremost I wanna take the time to say thank you for conducing this interview with me.

So the first question I have is, if you could pay anybody in the world, who would it be?'

'I'd paint anybody, anybody that asked me.'

'Really? Wow! Even a random guy just walking down 5th avenue came up to you, you would paint him?'

'Uh, yes, right, right!' Well, how, I mean how long does it, you know like'

'I do it by spending more time on it. Just like a person who spends more time at one picture.'

'OK!'

'I spend more time doing more than one picture.'

'OK, well, let's switch... What kind of camera do you use?

'I got this a... Mr. Land invented this great camera that was called Polaroid. It was called Polaroid and quick shot'

'Polaroid, yeah!'

'And it just takes, the face of a person. I haven't learned how to do the body, yet. I mean I've done it before, but not really. And so, this picture just takes a picture of a just a face, and it seems... Well, I don't know. And it seems to, I don't know, there's something about a camera that makes a person look just right, and it takes, it just takes head shots, it's just like passport pictures. Yeah, they usually always come out great!'

'Well I was actually using a portable Polaroid as a... to take pictures of girls naked. It definitely focuses on the body more, which is good, I tried to take at least twenty to twenty shots, beachhead the film is extremely expensive! How many shots do you take?

'No, I take at least 200 hundred!'

' Wow!'

'Maybe more!'

'yeah, and then I pick Sometimes I take half picture from one picture .'

'Insane!'

'And these are black and white I presume!'

'It's usually a colored picture and I turn it into a black and white photograph.'

'Let's talk about your work now! When you first started, people felt you weren't that good! They weren't interested to the pop art. Now, everyone has your work in the museums. Do you liek your work up, now? Like do you like to see it up like that?'

'Uh, no I like them in closets.'

'What, why?'

'Because people collect them and like to put them away. I like to put them away.'

'Wow! What do you suggest is the best way to get ideas from me? Like I'm young, I'm starting out, I like to have naked girls around when I paint, so what you suggest?'

'Now you can listen to really good music.'

'Oh, really? I used to have a boom-box when I spray painted in Bronx... But I heard you are an opera fan.'

'Oh, I always liked opera! I used to go when I was very young.'

'OK!'
