More quotes by Julian Schnabel
I think style is a fringe benefit that looks like you made it.
Julian Schnabel
I've never made a movie to make money. I've never made a painting to make money.
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
My compulsion is to create things.
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
I think beauty is a feeling that you get after you've had an experience. It's the way you feel about it that is beautiful.
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
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
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
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
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
I want the paintings to take me or the viewer out somewhere else.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
If I hung one of my paintings next to someone else's, I knew mine would kind of pop off the wall.
Julian Schnabel
