00:00 Oh, I must warn you, Andy won't say a word.
00:02 I think he'll whisper answers to me if you ask him a question.
00:05 Aren't you going to say one word, Andy?
00:07 I'm out.
00:08 [LAUGHTER]
00:11 The experimentation happened in the '60s.
00:22 And would be the most unlikely person to achieve
00:26 the success that he did.

00:31 That was very important, not to lose your culture.
00:40 You become American, but you still
00:42 keep that little corner that's your culture,
00:45 and how you were raised, and how you were brought up.
00:49 He seemed to attract these people that
00:51 were very talented.
00:52 He said, nothing private with that.

01:09 It was one of the first times my uncle experienced
01:12 a little bit of scandal with his artwork.
01:15 He wanted to do things different.
01:17 And I think he realized from an early point
01:20 that his art was what spoke for him.
01:26 Remember, Uncle Andy was very shy as a person.
01:29 And contrary to how he presented himself, didn't like crowds.
01:33 Welcome to Andy Warhol's house.
01:37 His options after college were limited.
01:40 I think if he was to stay in Pittsburgh,
01:43 he would probably have to become an art teacher.
01:46 The other option was to go to New York.
01:48 This is Andy's first house that he
01:53 bought when he left Pittsburgh.
01:55 The most important pop art paintings
01:57 were done in this room and in that back room.

02:17 That fame that he has doesn't impress me.
02:19 I know Andy as Andy.
02:21 Does it matter to you that people feel one way or another
02:23 to you?
02:24 You have a kind of reputation now,
02:25 which is a little bit apart from what you really are, I think.
02:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:32 It's interesting that Andy looks like he's
02:35 going to be famous forever.
