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

More quotes by 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
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
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
You're free because you don't have to expose yourself, and you can go wild, and let your id completely out of its box, and nobody will see you because you're operating through a surrogate. It's an opportunity to crack open your shell, to melt down yourself, and just let yourself go. It's a form of catharsis for me.
Wayne White
But I think frustration is hilarious. One of my missions is to bring humor into fine art. It's sacred.
Wayne White
I can't help it. I always focus in on the negative.
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
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
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
All I do is work, that's all my life is work.
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.
Wayne White
Once the cameras rolling or the audience is in the seats, I'm on. I can't help it. I go into a trance.
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
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
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
Do what you love. It’s going to lead to where you want to go.
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
Making art is nothing but risk, always. If it's not risk, it's no good.
Wayne White
Some of these bulls are gonna' spin those cowboys so fast, they'll look like a frog in a blender.
