Sheer obstinacy is very very important for anybody who wants to create.
Wayne White
Image
I can't help it. I always focus in on the negative.
Wayne White
Image
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
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.
Wayne White
Image
All I'm really concerned with is doing my thing.
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.

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
Image
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
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.
Wayne White
Image
I want to reach out and entertain people. I want people to come to a museum that have never been in a museum before. I want also to have enough art references in it that would satisfy the most sophisticated museum goer.

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
Image
When we see something beautiful it calls up raw, naked emotion and that's an embarrassing situation to be in.
Wayne White
Image
I have some sort of performing gene that's just there and I cannot explain it but I want to connect with people through a camera or on a stage. I just can do it. I just have an intuitive sense of it. So I love doing that, I love going into that trance.
Wayne White
Image
No matter how much I'm on and people are loving me, there's always some like, and it's usually a woman too, in the audience rolling her eyes, Oh Wayne, you're embarrassing yourself. There's always someone like that.
Wayne White
Image
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
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.
Wayne White
Image
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
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
Image
I want to communicate. I do every artist does. That's why you're an artist.
Wayne White
Image
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.
