I think not knowing what to think of your paintings is a good place to be.
Julian Schnabel

My compulsion is to create things.
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
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
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
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.
Julian Schnabel
Traditionally, photography is supposed to capture an event that has passed but that is not what I'm looking for. Photography brings the past into the present when you look at it...
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
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
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
I've never made a movie to make money. I've never made a painting to make money.
Julian Schnabel

Julian Schnabel
