“If I ever have to cast an acting role, I want the wrong person for the part. I can never visualize the right person in a part. The right person for the part would be too much. Besides, no person is ever completely right for any part, because a part is a role is neverContinue reading “RKS AMERICAN LITERATURE: Do You Cast the Right or Wrong Person for a Movie Role?

RKS AMERICAN LITERATURE: How to Make America More Beautiful (Andy Warhol)
“The most beautiful thing in Tokyo is McDonald’s. The most beautiful thing in Stockholm is McDonald’s. The most beautiful thing in Florence is McDonald’s. America is really The Beautiful. But it would be more beautiful if everybody had enough money to live.” Andy Warhol, “Fame”, 1975.
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 beingContinue reading “RKS AMERICAN LITERATURE: Talkers vs. Beauties (Andy Warhol)”
RKS AMERICAN LITERATURE: Committing Faux Pas When Talking to People in Love (Andy Warhol)
“It’s very easy to make faux pas when you’re talking to a person who’s in love, because they’re more sensitive about everything. I remember once I was at a dinner party and I was talking to a couple who looked so happy together and I said, “You are the happiest looking couple I’ve ever seen.’Continue reading “RKS AMERICAN LITERATURE: Committing Faux Pas When Talking to People in Love (Andy Warhol)”
RKS AMERICAN LITERATURE: Fantasies Giving Rise to Problems (Andy Warhol)
“People’s fantasies are what give them problems. If you didn’t have fantasies you wouldn’t have problems because you’d just take whatever was there. But then you wouldn’t have romance, because romance is finding your fantasy in people who don’t have it. A friend of mine always says, ‘Women love me for the man I’m not.”Continue reading “RKS AMERICAN LITERATURE: Fantasies Giving Rise to Problems (Andy Warhol)”
RKS AMERICAN LITERATURE: Fascination with Boys Spending Their Lives Trying to be Complete Girls (Andy Warhol)
“I’m fascinated by boys who spend their lives trying to be complete girls, because they have to work so hard-double time getting rid of all the tell-tale male signs and drawing in all the female signs. I’m not saying it’s the right thing to do, I’m not saying it’s a good idea, I’m not sayingContinue reading “RKS AMERICAN LITERATURE: Fascination with Boys Spending Their Lives Trying to be Complete Girls (Andy Warhol)”
RKS AMERICAN LITERATURE: Drag Queens as Living Testimony (Andy Warhol)
“Among other things, drag queens are living testimony to the way women used to want to be, the way some people want them to be, and the way some women actually want to be. Drags are ambulatory archives of ideal moviestar womanhood. They perform a documentary service, usually consecrating their lives to keeping the glitteringContinue reading “RKS AMERICAN LITERATURE: Drag Queens as Living Testimony (Andy Warhol)”
RKS AMERICAN LITERATURE: The Conspiracy of Married People (Andy Warhol)
“Being married looked so wonderful that life didn’t seem liveable if you weren’t lucky enough to have a husband or wife. To the singles, marriage seemed beautiful, the trappings seemed wonderful, and the sex was automatically implied to be automatically great-no one could ever seem to find words to describe it because you “had toContinue reading “RKS AMERICAN LITERATURE: The Conspiracy of Married People (Andy Warhol)”
RKS AMERICAN LITERATURE: Fantasy Love vs. Reality Love (Andy Warhol)
“Fantasy love is much better than reality love. Never doing it is very exciting. The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.” Andy Warhol, “Fame”, 1975.
RKS AMERICAN LITERATURE: Better to be in the Dark About Love and Sex (Andy Warhol)
“But then I think, maybe it works out just as well that nobody takes you out of the dark about it, because if you really knew the whole story, you wouldn’t have anything to think about or fantasize about for the rest of your life, and you might go crazy having nothing to think about,Continue reading “RKS AMERICAN LITERATURE: Better to be in the Dark About Love and Sex (Andy Warhol)”
