Paintings are not like the Internet. They're not like movies. They're not electronic-friendly. You have to go see them. You have to stand in front of them. That's the great thing about them.

More quotes by Julian Schnabel
We need to not be scared [of muslim], but understand each other. When you're around these people, you see they have much more in common than their differences.
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
You seem to make different concessions with yourself about what you want to focus on or not, and what you want to pay attention to.
Julian Schnabel
There are certain times you want to be here and there are certain times you want to just go. And when you go, it's usually so exhausting you have to check into a hospital when you come home!
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'm not saying I'm the only Jewish person who cares about Palestinian people, but unfortunately, their voices are not necessarily heard as loudly as they should be.
Julian Schnabel
My compulsion is to create things.
Julian Schnabel
I think not knowing what to think of your paintings is a good place to be.
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
It's nice to see your name in print. It's interesting.
Julian Schnabel
There's been too much attention on marketing. Can't we just talk about the paintings?
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 want the paintings to take me or the viewer out somewhere else.
Julian Schnabel
In a certain way, my work had set me up to be against lots of things. If there wasn't some sort of sanction for it in the public world, it might have been...it wouldn't have been tolerated, because people don't want things to get shaken up.
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 wanted to show painting paintings first, then the plate paintings now I can show that I've sort of freed myself from stylistic inhibitions.
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
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
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
