I'm a perfectionist I guess. Everyone has to love me.

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
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.

All I do is work, that's all my life is work.

Artists are people who create beauty. That's the bottom line.

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.

As far as I'm concerned, there is no line between high art and pop art, and there should be no line.

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.

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 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.

I hate people who act too cool for school. Just own up to it, dude.
Wayne White
Image
When we see something beautiful it calls up raw, naked emotion and that's an embarrassing situation to be in.

Image
I can't help it. I always focus in on the negative.
Wayne White
Image
Exposing something that's painful or raw or not so pleasant. That seems to be the dramatic motor of documentaries, exposure.

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

I want to communicate. I do every artist does. That's why you're an artist.
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.
