[Thoughts from MauSe] *Tape Deck Opens* *Tape Deck Closes* *Play bu*ton Is Pressed* Mickey MauSe: Interview with Andy Warhol... June 11th, 1986. Andy, first & foremost I want to take the time to say thank you, for conducting this interview with me. So the 1st question I have is if you could paint anybody in the world, who would it be? Andy Warhol: I'd paint anybody, anybody that asked me MauSe: Really? Wow, even a random guy just walking down 5th avenue, who came up to you, you just would paint them? Warhol: Uh, yes. Mhmm MauSe: Right right well, how I mean how long does it... you know like... Warhol: Well, by doing you know by spending more time on it. Its just.. its just like a person who spends more time on one picture MauSe: ooh ok... Warhol: I just spend more time doing more than one picture MauSe: OK well let's switch gears. What kind of camera do you use? Warhol: I've got this um... Mr. Landon invented this great camera that was called uh a Polaroid, it was called a poto roid um big shot MauSe: Polar.. A Polaroid.. yea Warhol: And uh it just takes uh the face of the person, I..I.. haven't learned how to do the body yet. I mean I..I... I've done it before but not..not really and so this.. this picture just takes a picture of um... just the face and it seems to uh.. I don't know, there's something about the camera that makes it lo.. makes the person look uh... just right.. and uh it takes... it just takes... takes their head shots its..its like getting a pa**port picture... MauSe: Yea Warhol: They usually always come out great MauSe: Yea well I've actually been using a portable Polaroid as of late to take pictures of girls naked. It um definitely focuses on the body more. Ha ha... Which is good. I try to get at least 20 to 25 shots because the film is extremely expensive. How many shots do you take by the way? Warhol: No, I take I take at least 200 MauSe: Wow Warhol: Maybe more MauSe: Wow 200 shots? Warhol: Then I, yea, Then I pick and sometimes I... I um.. you know take a half a picture from one picture and another picture lifted from another picture MauSe: Insane... and these.. and these are all black & white I presume? Warhol: It..its usually a color picture and I turn it to a black and white um.. photograph MauSe: Let's talk about your work now. When you first started, people felt you weren't that good. They weren't into the pop art. Now everyone has your work in their museums. Do you like your work up now? Like.. do you like to see it out like that? Warhol: Umm, oh no, I like them in closets MauSe: whaa... Ha Ha Ha... what? why? Warhol: oh well... because people collect them and then they put em away they don't have to put them up on the wall... at least they have them MauSe: He he heeeee. Wow. Well what do you suggest is the best way to get ideas for me? I'm young, I'm starting out, I like to have naked girls around when I...when I paint. So wha..what do you suggest? Warhol: Well, no you can listen to really good music MauSe: Oh Really? Well I-I used to have a boom box when I spray painted in The Bronx listening to Curtis Blow... Warhol: Oh yea... MauSe: & Krs-1. So... But..but.. I heard you were an opera fan Warhol: Oh I always liked opera. I used to go when I was I very young... MauSe: OK... Warhol: And now when you, you know with this great its a.. I think its another Sony ma- machine... its a.. its... its called a Walk-A-bout or a Walk-A-Man MauSe: A.. A...A walk-man... yea Walk-man Warhol: or something like that and uh.. its.. its.. actually really terrific... & you can.. you can hear it as stereo in your ear and its.. its its... its really great MauSe: Oh.. well... who did enjoy painting the most? Marilyn Monroe? JFK? Madonna? Warhol: I think Li- LIza Min- Minelli MauSe: What? You gotta be kidding me... Liza Minelli? Of all people? Warhol: Well umm.. because I was able to sort of uh MauSe: Yea, explain. You gotta explain Warhol: Do her... and do the painting like the way I used to do them years ago. And... And I I just did them recently. And uh it um.. It had the right look and the right colors MauSe: Oh OK... I see.. well she's kind of a b**h to me man but eh whatever, I don't...I don't really care Warhol: Yes... I can... well.. MauSe: Ha Ha Ha Warhol: uh she's a great person... MauSe: Ight, whatever you say man. Well, I sent some artwork over to Edie for you to look at did you get them? Do u like them? Warhol: Well no I don't. But uh MauSe: What? Warhol: I have them... I wish I... I wish I didn't MauSe: What?.. f** u Andy. You don't think it would be a good idea to at least look at the art? Warhol: Uh... it would be a good idea... Yea... MauSe: You're a jerk man. You gotta look at what the youth is doing Andy. So you can stay and remain young man Warhol: Oh no.. I'm.. no I'm...I'm...I'm old MauSe: Oh.. Oh you're old now? Ha ha... come on man... Warhol: Oh yes, I'm old, yea... They call me granny MauSe: What? Warhol: they call me granny. They do MauSe: Who at The Factory is calling you granny? Is it Keith? Is it Kenny? Warhol: Uh everybody does MauSe: Wow. Really? But why do you think they do? Cause I'm a start soon Warhol: Uh I don't know... They.. they say I'm old MauSe: Ha ha... It could be because we love you man... Ha ha Warhol: Uh no, its not a sign of affection MauSe: What? Warhol: It's mean MauSe: No man... You must hate us man.. Warhol: Uh... well no, I like everybody... so... that's affection MauSe: Ha ha.. So you trying to tell me, after the years you've known me, there's nothing about me or anybody else that you hate? Warhol: Ummmm.. well if they talk a lot MauSe: Ha ha... come on Andy... Warhol: *chuckles* MauSe: So if I shut up and end this interview, I'd be cool to you? Warhol: Ye... yes... that's a really nice person MauSe: OK fine... I'll get you later man... MauSe *Tape Stops* *Film Reel Starts* MauSe: Lights, Camera, Action! Mause!!!!
