Some of these bulls are gonna' spin those cowboys so fast, they'll look like a frog in a blender.

I'm probably the worst person in the world to give advice to puppeteers. My whole attitude towards puppets from the beginning was not one of love, but it was like anti-puppetry.

Artists are people who create beauty. That's the bottom line.

Do what you love. It’s going to lead to where you want to go.
Wayne White

I want to communicate. I do every artist does. That's why you're an artist.

As far as I'm concerned, there is no line between high art and pop art, and there should be no line.

I would advise puppeteering for any artist. It's a way to break down pretensions. It's a sculpture that can talk. It's a painting that can talk. And it's pure play. I think every artist needs to stay in touch with the idea of playing. The artist should always be playing, always. All art is performance.

Sheer obstinacy is very very important for anybody who wants to create.

I'm thankful for the big stuff of course-my family, health, human kindness. But I'm also thankful that I don't have to work for Hollywood anymore.

I want to reach out and entertain people. I want people to come to a museum that have never been in a museum before. I want also to have enough art references in it that would satisfy the most sophisticated museum goer.

The only tip I have for an artist is perseverance... Never give up.

When we see something beautiful it calls up raw, naked emotion and that's an embarrassing situation to be in.

All I'm really concerned with is doing my thing.

First of all I think of puppets as sculpture. They are sculpture that moves. You could label it any way you want, but for me it always starts in my mind as a sculpture.

No matter how much I'm on and people are loving me, there's always some like, and it's usually a woman too, in the audience rolling her eyes, Oh Wayne, you're embarrassing yourself. There's always someone like that.

I'm a sign painter with no boss.

I don't like the idea of busing children all over the country. It's not safe. And there doesn't seem to be that much of an urgent need for it to be done.

Puppets allow a person to express things through this surrogate that wouldn't normally get expressed. You know there's famous techniques of puppet therapists. Put this hand puppet on and tell me what the problem is.

I can't help it. I always focus in on the negative.
Wayne White

Static puppets, I wanted them to move, they're looking out the windows, but we didn't have time to rig those. I have more ideas than I can execute also every time that I do anything. I put the puppets in because people love 'em. I'm a populist in that sense.

Making art is nothing but risk, always. If it's not risk, it's no good.
