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.

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.
Wayne White
Image
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
Image
When I perform I'm very extroverted and I wear my heart on my sleeve and some people don't like that. They're embarrassed for me.
Wayne White
Image
I am very suspicious of cameras and dramatic interpretations and the whole Hollywood myth-making process. I don't trust it. I've seen it affect people in bad ways.
Wayne White
Image
It would be really embarrassing to introduce yourself as somebody who makes beauty.
Wayne White
Image
But I think frustration is hilarious. One of my missions is to bring humor into fine art. It's sacred.
Wayne White
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I'm a sign painter with no boss.
Wayne White
Image
The only tip I have for an artist is perseverance... Never give up.
Wayne White
Image
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.

Do what you love. It’s going to lead to where you want to go.
Wayne White
Image
It's about communication, no matter how impossibly hard your art is to understand and how much of an ivory tower or high horse you get on, it's still basically communication or why are you doing it?
Wayne White
Image
I practice the artist's golden rule. I wouldn't want somebody telling me how to finish my painting, I'm not going to tell him how to finish his movie or how to shape his movie.
Wayne White
Image
I can't help it. I always focus in on the negative.
Wayne White
Image
People that are born beautiful like supermodels act like entitled a**holes. It makes you embarrassed just to see 'em. They handle beauty embarrassingly.
Wayne White
Image
When I commit to working with an artist, I give them as much respect as I would like and if I'm not going to commit that way, then I don't want to work with you.
Wayne White
Image
I hate the whole group of artists who are so hermetic and completely indecipherable on some level and they're all proud of themselves for it. It's like, how obnoxious, how pretentious. And that's part of my mission as an artist is to kick down those people or make fun of that type of high horse attitude.
Wayne White
Image
When we see something beautiful it calls up raw, naked emotion and that's an embarrassing situation to be in.

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.
