RKS AMERICAN LITERATURE: Talkers vs. Beauties (Andy Warhol)

“I don’t really care that much about ‘Beauties’. What I really like are ‘Talkers’. To me, good talkers are beautiful because good talk is what I love. The word itself shows why I like Talkers better than Beauties, why I tape more than I film. It’s not ‘talkies’. Talkers are doing something. Beauties are being something. Which isn’t necessarily bad, it’s just that I don’t know what it is their being. It is more fun to be with people who are doing things.”

Andy Warhol, “Fame”, 1975.
