If I hung one of my paintings next to someone else's, I knew mine would kind of pop off the wall.

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.

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.

Julian Schnabel
Image
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
Image
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.

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.

It doesn't matter what I think I am, it matters what I do.

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.

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!

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.

I work with things left over from other things.
