“My colour has no symbolic function whatever. I don’t want any colour to
be noticeable. I want the colour to be the colour of life, so that you
would notice it as being irregular if it changed. I don’t want it to
operate in the modernist sense as colour, something independent. I don’t
want people to say, “Oh, what was that red or that blue picture of
yours, I’ve forgotten what it was.”

“It’s hard to be creative and it’s also hard not to think what you do
is creative or hard not to be called creative because everybody is
always talking about that and individuality. Everybody’s always
creative. And it is so funny when you say things aren’t, like the shoe I
would draw for an advertisement was called a ‘creation’, but the
drawing of it was not. There are millions of actors. They’re all
pretty good. And how many painters are there? Millions of painters and
all pretty good. How can you say one style is better then another. You
ought to be able to be an Abstract-expressionist next week, or a Pop artist, or a realist, without feeling you’re given up something.”
Mao (1972) by Andy Warhol
