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.

More quotes by 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
As far as I'm concerned, there is no line between high art and pop art, and there should be no line.
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
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
Some of these bulls are gonna' spin those cowboys so fast, they'll look like a frog in a blender.
Wayne White
I'm a sign painter with no boss.
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
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
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
All I'm really concerned with is doing my thing.
Wayne White
I hate people who act too cool for school. Just own up to it, dude.
Wayne White
I'm a perfectionist I guess. Everyone has to love me.
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
I want to communicate. I do every artist does. That's why you're an artist.
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
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
Do what you love. It’s going to lead to where you want to go.
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
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
Sheer obstinacy is very very important for anybody who wants to create.
