When we see something beautiful it calls up raw, naked emotion and that's an embarrassing situation to be in.

More quotes by Wayne White
I'm a sign painter with no boss.
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
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
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
Exposing something that's painful or raw or not so pleasant. That seems to be the dramatic motor of documentaries, exposure.
Wayne White
I'm a perfectionist I guess. Everyone has to love me.
Wayne White
When I commit to working with an artist, I give them as much respect as I would like and if I'm not going to commit that way, then I don't want to work with you.
Wayne White
Sheer obstinacy is very very important for anybody who wants to create.
Wayne White
I'm just a mule with blinders on, I can't help myself.
Wayne White
Artists are people who create beauty. That's the bottom line.
Wayne White
I don't like the idea of busing children all over the country. It's not safe. And there doesn't seem to be that much of an urgent need for it to be done.
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
People that are born beautiful like supermodels act like entitled a**holes. It makes you embarrassed just to see 'em. They handle beauty embarrassingly.
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
It would be really embarrassing to introduce yourself as somebody who makes beauty.
Wayne White
Being an artist is a lifestyle.
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
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
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
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.
