Everything that happened to me has been a paradox for life. The very things that I should have done would have been the trap. The very things I might have given into, that demanded, that said, this is your life. I mean, this is your only way to survive, are the things I found hardest to end. ‘Cause I believed in something else. You have to work like mad to make people understand… Even if I don’t make it, you know, I really insist on believing, and then I fall off the edge because there’s nobody else to follow it. And I would just fall off the edge.

Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests

Andy always picks people because they have an amazing sort of essential flame, and he brings it out for the purposes of his films. He never takes anybody who has nothing and makes them into something.
