More quotes by Wayne White

Wayne White
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
All I do is work, that's all my life is work.
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
I'm a sign painter with no boss.
Wayne White
Artists are people who create beauty. That's the bottom line.
Wayne White
I want to communicate. I do every artist does. That's why you're an artist.
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.
