More quotes by Wayne White
But I think frustration is hilarious. One of my missions is to bring humor into fine art. It's sacred.
Wayne White
All I'm really concerned with is doing my thing.
Wayne White
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
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 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
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.
Wayne White
Sheer obstinacy is very very important for anybody who wants to create.
Wayne White
But nobody predicted anything of this magnitude in terms of resistance. And in part, the magnitude of the resistance was spurred by our failures in reconstruction.
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 do is work, that's all my life is work.
Wayne White
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.
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
It would be really embarrassing to introduce yourself as somebody who makes beauty.
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
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
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.
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
Exposing something that's painful or raw or not so pleasant. That seems to be the dramatic motor of documentaries, exposure.
Wayne White
Some of these bulls are gonna' spin those cowboys so fast, they'll look like a frog in a blender.
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.
