Quotes

  Andy Warhol : Yeah.

  Edie Sedgwick : Well, I think people will talk about how you changed the world.

  Andy Warhol : I wonder what they'll say about you... in your obituary. I like that word.

  Edie Sedgwick : Nothing nice, I don't think.

  Andy Warhol : No no, come on. They'd say, "Edith Minturn Sedgwick: beautiful artist and actress...

  Edie Sedgwick : ...and all-around loon.

  Andy Warhol : ...Remembered for setting the world on fire...

  Edie Sedgwick : ...and escaping the clutches of her terrifying family...

  Andy Warhol : ...Made friends with eeeeverybody and anybody...

  Edie Sedgwick : ...creating chaos and uproar wherever she went. Divorced as many times as she married, she leaves only good wishes behind.

  [laughs]

• Edie Sedgwick : And what would I have to do in one of your movies?

  Andy Warhol : Just be yourself.

  Edie Sedgwick : Well, which one?

• Syd Pepperman : [of Edie]  What'd I tell you? Is she a star, or what?

• Edie Sedgwick : [at the flea market]  Andy, what do you think? Tres chic or tres fou?

  Edie Sedgwick : Well I already stopped wearing underwear. Shit! What other sacrifices do I have to make?

• Andy Warhol : Father forgive me, for I have sinned.

  Priest : What are your sins, my son?

  Andy Warhol : Well, I have this friend named Mark. And, well, he buys all these clothes at Bloomingdale's. But because he's from London, everybody on the Cape keep talking about his "fabulous English look",which really is so good. He was at a partyup there last week, and Norman Mailer walked up to him and punched him in the stomach. and when someone asked him why, he just said it was for "wearing a pink coat." I know I should be glad that Norman Mailer punched him, but all I could think about was "Will Norman Mailer ever punch me?"

  [pause] 

  Andy Warhol : I don't even have a pink coat.

  [pause] 

  Andy Warhol : Or get invited to those glamourous parties.

  Priest : Andy, why do you come to confession?

  Andy Warhol : Well, because it's a sin not to.

• Andy Warhol : Well, I just don't understand why Jasper's are selling and mine are not.

  Lexa Spence : Ah, who cares about these people? They're so 50's, so boring! Not very chic. Very English.
