5. Paul Taylor: What magazines do you read?

Andy Warhol: I just read everything.

Paul Taylor: You look at everything. Do you read the art magazines?

Andy Warhol: Yeah, I look at the pictures.

Paul Taylor: You've been in trouble for using someone else's image as far back as 1964. What do you think about the legal situation of appropriated imagery, and the copyright situation?

Andy Warhol: I don't know. It's just like a Coca Cola bottle - when you buy it, you always think that it's yours and you can do whatever you like with it. Now it's sort of different because you pay a deposit on the bottle. We're having the same problem now with the John Wayne pictures. I don't want to get involved, it's too much trouble. I think that you buy a magazine, you pay for it, it's yours. I don't get mad when people take my things.

Paul Taylor: You don't do anything about it?

Andy Warhol: No. It got a little crazy when people were turning out paintings and signing my name.

Paul Taylor: What did you think about that?

Andy Warhol: Signing my name to it was wrong but other than that I don't care.

Paul Taylor: The whole appropriation epidemic comes down to who is responsible for for art. If indeed anyone can manufacture the pictures of those flowers, the whole idea of the artist gets lost somewhere in the process.

Andy Warhol: Is that good or bad?

(cont'd)

Paul Taylor: If you were starting out now, would you do anything differently?

Andy Warhol: I don't know. I just worked hard. It's all fantasy.

Paul Taylor: Life is fantasy?

Andy Warhol: Yeah, it is.

Paul Taylor: What's real?

Andy Warhol: Don't know.

Paul Taylor: Some people would.

Andy Warhol: Would they?

Paul Taylor: Do you really believe it, or or tomorrow will you say the opposite?

Andy Warhol: I don't know. I like this idea that you can say the opposite.

Paul Taylor: But you wouldn't in this case?

Andy Warhol: No.

Paul Taylor: Is there any connection between fantasy and religious feeling?

Andy Warhol: Maybe. I don't know. Church is a fun place to go.
