INTERVIEW WITH ANDY WARHOL / by Gerard Malanga

PEOPLE:

We're pep people. We're formed by televison [[television]]. I think people are becoming plastic. I love pladtic [[plastic]]. I want to be plastic.

A pop person is like a vacuum that eats up everything. He's made up from what he seen. Television has done it. You don't have to read anymore. Books will be out, television will stay. Movies will go out, television will stay. And that's why people who can give things back are considered very talented. We took a tour of Universal Studios in Los Angeles and inside or outside the place, it was very difficult to tell what was real. They're not real people trying to say something. And we're real people not trying to say anything.

PLACES:
California will be the first state to go nude. I think it's wonderful. The people are so gorgeous. The people are cleaner and more gorgeous here than anywhere else. The women are trimmer and neater here than in New York. All the new fads start here. Everything's so gorgeous here. In New York there's everything to do. In Los Angeles there's nothing to do. And San Francisco is in-between, a lot of things happening and kind of comptressed [[compressed]] together. The City is glamerous [[glamorous]]. Like Paris. I didn't think I'd like Paris, but I did. I think Paris knows more about everything.

But you see things like in Hollywood. Los Angeles is a dream city, it's the first American city. I love the look if it, it's so American. It's really gorgeous.

I don't make quality judgments. Things just are. You know, wow!
