Have you watched this movie? It is about Andy Warhol's muse Edie Sedgewick from the time they met until she died. She came from a very rich family, but she chose to go to art school and then she met Andy when she moved to New York. 

There are some rememberable quotes from the movie, as well as eye candy of both kinds; in the cast you'll find Sienna Miller and Hayden Christensen.

At one point (or more), Edie talks about why Andy's art is so good. Apart from concluding that it is a genius move in itself to do something no-one else has done she says something similar to: He took America and threw it right back in the the face of the people. I think that line is so brilliant (think of the soup cans e.g.)!  (Pic from here.)

Warhol crowned Edie his superstar and she acted in several of his underground movies. One of them was called Poor Little Rich Girl, in which she was asked why she didn't have clothes on. Her answer was that since she has so many different clothes, people don't recognize her when she wears them. Hilarious! 

In Andy's movies Edie got to act as herself:

Billy Quinn, Edie's first love. Even though Billy himself was famous, he had problems with how people (read Edie and Andy) worshiped that shallow world.  

Another quote I like, from here:

The movie is really intriguing. You get to see how it might have looked like at "The Factory" - Andy's  place where he shot a lot of movies, made art and hung out with friends. Apart from sex, drugs and art, people were encouraged to embrace their uniqueness there.
