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.

All I do is work, that's all my life is work.
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!

Exposing something that's painful or raw or not so pleasant. That seems to be the dramatic motor of documentaries, exposure.
Wayne White
Image
The only tip I have for an artist is perseverance... Never give up.
Wayne White
Image
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.

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
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 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.

Do what you love. It’s going to lead to where you want to go.

Making art is nothing but risk, always. If it's not risk, it's no good.

Once the cameras rolling or the audience is in the seats, I'm on. I can't help it. I go into a trance.

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.

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.

I'm a perfectionist I guess. Everyone has to love me.
Wayne White
Image
It would be really embarrassing to introduce yourself as somebody who makes beauty.

I'm a sign painter with no boss.

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 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.

Some of these bulls are gonna' spin those cowboys so fast, they'll look like a frog in a blender.

I hate people who act too cool for school. Just own up to it, dude.
