More quotes by Wayne White
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.
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 want to communicate. I do every artist does. That's why you're an artist.
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.

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.

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.

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
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
The only tip I have for an artist is perseverance... Never give up.
Wayne White
I'm a sign painter with no boss.
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
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.
Wayne White
Do what you love. It’s going to lead to where you want to go.
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
I hate people who act too cool for school. Just own up to it, dude.
Wayne White
I had to learn to do stuff only for myself, and stop thinking about pleasing some imaginary client or boss. It's a habit that many artists get into that have worked in commercial ventures.
Wayne White
When we see something beautiful it calls up raw, naked emotion and that's an embarrassing situation to be in.
Wayne White
All I'm really concerned with is doing my thing.
Wayne White
I can't help it. I always focus in on the negative.
