Andy Warhol-15 minutes of fame

"In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes."

The expression is a paraphrase of Andy Warhol's 1968 statement: "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." In 1979 Warhol reiterated his claim: "...my prediction from the Sixties finally came true: In the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes."
Becoming bored with continually being asked about this particular statement, Warhol attempted to confuse interviewers by changing the statement variously to "In the future 15 people will be famous" and "In 15 minutes everybody will be famous."
