More quotes by Julian Schnabel
I think style is a fringe benefit that looks like you made it.
Julian Schnabel
I work with things left over from other things.
Julian Schnabel
The movie [Miral] is not pro-Palestinian. It's about Palestinians. It's a Palestinian story, written by a Palestinian person. I don't know anybody else that could have done that
Julian Schnabel
If I hung one of my paintings next to someone else's, I knew mine would kind of pop off the wall.
Julian Schnabel
Some people might think that the paintings are involved with a mythic - not just subject matter - but a certain sort of physical space that the paintings occupy...like personages.
Julian Schnabel
I don't think people are terribly interested in young artists who were doing interesting thing, but I don't think people are terribly interested in young artists.
Julian Schnabel
I think not knowing what to think of your paintings is a good place to be.
Julian Schnabel
There's been too much attention on marketing. Can't we just talk about the paintings?
Julian Schnabel
Can I find a poetic that can be subversive enough to grab people in some subliminal way, to where they feel that they are altered and have had an experience that belonged to them?
Julian Schnabel
I've never made a movie to make money. I've never made a painting to make money.
Julian Schnabel
Sometimes my kids might tell me they had a dream or and maybe I'll paint some paintings from their dream. That's one good thing you get from your kids. Rob them of their dreams.
Julian Schnabel
Everything I've seen becomes real once it becomes memory. The films I've seen are interchangeable with things that have really happened to me.
Julian Schnabel
Maybe my work looks a little crazy, a little insane, but I don't really see myself as a crazy artist or a shaman artist.
Julian Schnabel
I don't like building, I'm not a carpenter, I don't like constructions particularly and things like that, but placements and the kinds of psychological weight that different materials have is pretty interesting to me.
Julian Schnabel
It's nice to see your name in print. It's interesting.
Julian Schnabel
My compulsion is to create things.
Julian Schnabel
I think, basically, I'm an abstract artist. I just think that that's not even an issue. I think everything's abstract.
Julian Schnabel
I'm not mannerist. I don't think I'm interested in mannerism. If I ever use it in a way, or if manner is like some kind of product of certain sorts of usage of different kinds of materials, then it's about involution or turning in on that.
Julian Schnabel
There were some types of sanctions that happen in the public world that made my work acceptable, where someone looks at the paintings and they don't - they may go, okay, and then look at it in a different sort of way. Instead of just looking at it as some type of wild art, they look at it in a historical perspective or context.
Julian Schnabel
It doesn't matter what I think I am, it matters what I do.
Julian Schnabel
