Andy Warhol

I was at an orgy, and he [Warhol] was, ah, this great presence in the back of the room. And this orgy was run by a friend of mine, and, so, I said to this person, 'Would you please mind throwing that thing out of here?' And that thing was thrown out of there, and when he came up to me the next time, he said to me, 'Nobody has ever thrown me out of a party.' He said, 'You know? don't you know who I am?' And I said, 'Well, I don't give a good flying fuck who you are. You just weren't there. You weren't involved ...'

Ondine, one of Andy Warhol's Factory 'stars', gaining an early insight into the artist's somewhat detached persona. More shocking tales of art, depravity and general bitchiness here.
