Once the cameras rolling or the audience is in the seats, I'm on. I can't help it. I go into a trance.
Wayne White
I have some sort of performing gene that's just there and I cannot explain it but I want to connect with people through a camera or on a stage. I just can do it. I just have an intuitive sense of it. So I love doing that, I love going into that trance.

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.
Wayne White
But nobody predicted anything of this magnitude in terms of resistance. And in part, the magnitude of the resistance was spurred by our failures in reconstruction.
Wayne White
I'm a perfectionist I guess. Everyone has to love me.
Wayne White
Artists are people who create beauty. That's the bottom line.
Wayne White
If they make the deadline because the Shiites and Kurds essentially rammed a draft through over Sunni Arab objections, there will be hell to pay.
Wayne White
Exposing something that's painful or raw or not so pleasant. That seems to be the dramatic motor of documentaries, exposure.
Wayne White
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.
Wayne White
Almost all Iraqis with any previous experience in the intelligence business are Sunni Arab, increasing the risk of penetration of the new intelligence apparatus by the insurgency.
Wayne White
Being an artist is a lifestyle.
Wayne White
As far as I'm concerned, there is no line between high art and pop art, and there should be no line.
