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.

More quotes by Wayne White
All I do is work, that's all my life is work.
Wayne White
I throw dignity out the window, and just become a creature of the moment on the stage. I act like I'd never act in real life.
Wayne White
But I think frustration is hilarious. One of my missions is to bring humor into fine art. It's sacred.
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.
Wayne White
I had to learn to do stuff only for myself, and stop thinking about pleasing some imaginary client or boss. It's a habit that many artists get into that have worked in commercial ventures.
Wayne White
Puppets are pure form then ideas for performance come out of that. It's always the form and the visuals and that's why I like to make puppets in a gallery or museum. They're not often in those contexts.
Wayne White
I hate people who act too cool for school. Just own up to it, dude.
Wayne White
You're free because you don't have to expose yourself, and you can go wild, and let your id completely out of its box, and nobody will see you because you're operating through a surrogate. It's an opportunity to crack open your shell, to melt down yourself, and just let yourself go. It's a form of catharsis for me.
Wayne White
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
It would be really embarrassing to introduce yourself as somebody who makes beauty.
Wayne White
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.
Wayne White
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
I can't help it. I always focus in on the negative.
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
Follow your heart, and your pleasure in art. Don’t do what you think is going to be making you money, or what you’re parents want you to do, or what that beautiful girl or guy thinks you should be doing. Do what you love. It’s going to lead to where you want to go. Go out there and make the world more beautiful. I know you can.
Wayne White
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.
Wayne White
Artists are people who create beauty. That's the bottom line.
Wayne White
I'm a perfectionist I guess. Everyone has to love me.
Wayne White
I've been very lucky. I've had three separate careers: freelance illustrator, then set designer, puppetteer and animator, and now fine artist. I just bluffed my way into every one of 'em!
Wayne White
Sheer obstinacy is very very important for anybody who wants to create.
