andy warhol

I once mentioned to Warhol that I was writing a novel, and he
looked at me doubtfully, with his peculiar worried look.

'But you need an awful lot of people for that, don’t you?'

I answered that I didn’t really need a very large crowd.

'Oh . . . oh . . . uh, you mean you just make people up?'

A nervous incredulity spread over his face.

I was speaking of a literally unimaginable artistic process.
