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.

More quotes by 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
Art should be as inclusive as possible. That's why I like bringing the low form of puppetry and elevating it into a sculpture form, but it's still a puppet also.
Wayne White
I've been around Hollywood and filmmaking long enough to know that it's a tricky dangerous business when you go on camera, you got to watch yourself.
Wayne White
As far as I'm concerned, there is no line between high art and pop art, and there should be no line.
Wayne White
Do what you love. It’s going to lead to where you want to go.
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
The only tip I have for an artist is perseverance... Never give up.
Wayne White
Sheer obstinacy is very very important for anybody who wants to create.
Wayne White
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.
Wayne White
All I'm really concerned with is doing my thing.
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 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
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
All I do is work, that's all my life is work.
Wayne White
Making art is nothing but risk, always. If it's not risk, it's no good.
Wayne White
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
Being an artist is a lifestyle.
Wayne White
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
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
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.
