Quotes 

• Andy Warhol : I wonder if people are going to remember us?

  Edie Sedgwick : What, when we're dead?

  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 : That's nice, isn't it?

• Edie Sedgwick : I went to a party once, and there was a palm reader there and when she looked at my hand, she just froze. And I said to her, "I know. My lifeline is broken. I know I won't live past 30."

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

  Andy Warhol : Just be yourself.

  Edie Sedgwick : Well, which one?

• Edie Sedgwick : I can't hate him!

• Edie Sedgwick : You are so much fun. How come you don't spend more time with us?

  Richie Berlin : Because of my lips.

  Edie Sedgwick : Your lips?

  Richie Berlin : They have a hard time kissing Andy Warhol's ass.

• James Townsend : [Edie's accountant, concerned]  You're going to be bankrupt soon.

  Edie Sedgwick : James, you take life too seriously. How could I possibly be bankrupt? My grandfather invented the elevator.

  James Townsend : Then you should be familiar with the concept of up and down.

• Syd Pepperman : Look's like the country's disintegrating, lost all its hope.

  Edie Sedgwick : There's always hope, no matter what's happened before.

  Syd Pepperman : [pointing to a Pollock]  Yeah? Where's the hope in that?

  Edie Sedgwick : You know, when he started painting, everybody thought he was mad. Can you imagine?

• Billy Quinn : How did a nice chick like you get mixed up in the whole acting racket?

  Edie Sedgwick : "Breakfast at Tiffany's". You know, Audrey with her hair pulled back, and she's smoking through the black cigarette holder.

  Billy Quinn : You wanna live in a movie?

  Edie Sedgwick : I never saw the movie, just the poster.

  Billy Quinn : So you haven't read the book then?

  Edie Sedgwick : Well, Audrey isn't in the book.

  Billy Quinn : The book is a bit different. It's about a working girl and a writer, an artist. You see, the artist steals the girl's stories and makes a fortune, and the girl doesn't get anything.

  Edie Sedgwick : Why do you have such a problem with Andy?

  Billy Quinn : Because of what he worships.

• Edie Sedgwick : I can't take it anymore. I want to die

  Wanda : And why do you want to die?

  Edie Sedgwick : Because my credit's no good at Bonwit Teller and I just stole $30 worth of underwear at Bergdorf's and I think I might do it again.

  [laughs] 

• Edie Sedgwick : Bobby, just because I let your friend fuck me last night doesn't mean he can take my silverware.

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

  Andy Warhol : Oh, tres chic, definitely.

  Edie Sedgwick : Well, I have to watch my spending, especially on clothes.

  Andy Warhol : Oh.

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

• Edie Sedgwick : [interview in College Hospital]  My great-great-great-great-uncle signed the Declaration of Independence and my mother's side started building New York before the Revolution. You get the idea.

• Edie Sedgwick : You know those photos of smiling families you you always see on a mantelpiece? I can't even look at them, because you never know what they're hiding. A "Life" magazine photographer came to our house to photograph "The Ideal American Family". And we looked happy and pretty, but... underneath, it just wasn't that way at all.

• Syd Pepperman : [pointing to a picture of Warhol]  People say he's a "no-talent" freak.

  Edie Sedgwick : Well, I mean, he's changing the way that we look at the world, isn't he? I think people who do that must have the hardest time in life.

• Andy Warhol : Who is she?

  Syd Pepperman : That's her. That's Edie Sedgwick.

  Edie Sedgwick : [accepting a cigarette]  Oh, thank you.

  [being offered numerous lights from multiple men] 

  Edie Sedgwick : Oh!

  Andy Warhol : [transfixed]  Oh.

  Edie Sedgwick : What nice manners! Chuckie, you should pay attention to these gentlemen, You just might learn something .

  Andy Warhol : Oh wow! She's so beautiful!

• Syd Pepperman : Edie, this is Andy.

  Andy Warhol : Hi.

  Edie Sedgwick : Oh, it is just amazing to meet you! I think you're just a genius.

  Andy Warhol : Oh.

  Edie Sedgwick : No one is doing anything like you right now, and I think that in itself is a sign of brilliance, don't you?

  Syd Pepperman : I'll leave you two alone.

  Edie Sedgwick : Oh, there's four olives!

  Andy Warhol : Oh, is that really bad?

  Edie Sedgwick : Well, not if you eat them, because I simply couldn't bear the thought.

  Andy Warhol : Oh, well I really don't like olives, but I'd love you to be in one of my movies.

  Edie Sedgwick : [laughing]  I'd really like you to eat my olives!

  [sticks olives in Andy's mouth] 

  Andy Warhol : [partially muzzled by olives]  Oh.

• Edie Sedgwick : [of Billie Quinn]  We barely met. What about you? You meet people all the time. Do you fuck them?

  Andy Warhol : Well, I just think sex is too abstract anyway.

• Edie Sedgwick : Don't be jealous, Andy. He's nothing like you.

• Edie Sedgwick : To me, New York was Jackson Pollock sipping vodka and dripping paint onto a raw canvas.

• Edie Sedgwick : Chuck's my best girlfriend
