"An artist is somebody who produces things that people
don't need to have but that he, for some reason, thinks it
would be a good idea to give them."

That's good. It fits well with the Jobs quote "Real artists ship." Shipping is when you find out whether or not people actually need what you're making.
I wouldn't take advice from Andy Warhol unless you're trying to make a product that insecure, dumb people want because they want to fit into their subculture. Or selling drugs.
I would take advice from Andy Warhol over anyone on the Internet.
Plus, a majority of products in any given category is sold as a result of insecurity (You've probably heard of the fashion industry).
Andy Warhol made things for insecure dumb people and sold drugs? I don't get it.
I would love to hear what Warhol had to say about drug dealing, but i do not theink it would be very beneficial. Many artists are long on talk and short on content. Take, for instance, myself.
