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.

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.

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

Do what you love. It’s going to lead to where you want to go.

Making art is nothing but risk, always. If it's not risk, it's no good.

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.

Image
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.

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
Image
I'm probably the worst person in the world to give advice to puppeteers. My whole attitude towards puppets from the beginning was not one of love, but it was like anti-puppetry.

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

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.

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.

Sheer obstinacy is very very important for anybody who wants to create.
Wayne White
Image
When we see something beautiful it calls up raw, naked emotion and that's an embarrassing situation to be in.

I hate people who act too cool for school. Just own up to it, dude.

Some of these bulls are gonna' spin those cowboys so fast, they'll look like a frog in a blender.

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

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.

Exposing something that's painful or raw or not so pleasant. That seems to be the dramatic motor of documentaries, exposure.
