Julian Schnabel Quotes

Maybe my work looks a little crazy, a little insane, but I don’t really see myself as a crazy artist or a shaman artist Picture Quote #1

I like when people get really close to the paintings, when they can’t really get away from them, I like them to operate in that way on the viewer Picture Quote #1

I never paid much attention to being Jewish when I was a kid. In fact, I’d say my religion was more surfing than Judaism - that’s what I spent most of my time doing Picture Quote #1

I don’t know if I could, like, see a face and know what the face of beauty looks like, but after I’ve seen it I know if I’ve felt like it was beauty Picture Quote #1

My compulsion is to create things Picture Quote #1

I work with things left over from other things Picture Quote #1

It’s a great excuse and luxury, having a job and blaming it for your inability to do your own art. When you don’t have to work, you are left with the horror of facing your own lack of imagination and your own emptiness. A devastating possibility when finally time is your own Picture Quote #1

I do dream about art, and images come to me in dreams. I am definitely hoping to be in touch with my subconscious. I expect a call any minute Picture Quote #1

A lot of what I do is about being in the moment and I think that’s hard for people to get. I like it when things suddenly affect the painting. I mix up this red and it affects the whole painting or this little bit of white falls down there, and something changes the whole nature of the thing. The residue on what happens, that’s what’s in the paintings Picture Quote #1

There’s been too much attention on marketing. Can’t we just talk about the paintings? Picture Quote #1

Traditionally, photography is supposed to capture an event that has passed; but that is not what I’m looking for. Photography brings the past into the present when you look at it Picture Quote #1

Some people must go to extremes to get the world in balance for themselves. Some can’t bear bright lights, so wherever they go they search for the dark; they turn the lights down, anything to sustain some level of comfort Picture Quote #1

Can I find a poetic that can be subversive enough to grab people in some subliminal way, to where they feel that they are altered and have had an experience that belonged to them? Picture Quote #1

If I hung one of my paintings next to someone else’s, I knew mine would kind of pop off the wall Picture Quote #1

I think that truth is stranger than fiction, and it’s nice to know the people you’re making a movie about Picture Quote #1

When I’m making a movie, I don’t like to know what’s going to happen next. I like to watch something and be surprised all the time, and just not know, and let it take me wherever Picture Quote #1

You seem to make different concessions with yourself about what you want to focus on or not, and what you want to pay attention to Picture Quote #1

Because I’m not doing it for the money, I’m doing it because I feel like that story needs to be told or clarified, or something needs to be shown about that Picture Quote #1

I think when somebody’s painting they don’t necessarily... I’m not illustrating what I know. I’m mapping out, like topographically, some terrain I am satisfied with, how awkward that mark is Picture Quote #1

I wanted to make pictures where you would not know who took them. I also bring the present into the past Picture Quote #1

It’s very difficult, I think, for people to be around you when you’re getting lots of attention. It’s very difficult for young people to understand what that’s about when people start treating you differently when you’ve been doing the same thing you were doing the day before Picture Quote #1

You know, painting has given me a lot of freedom, because for some reason, I’ve been able to paint things, organize things in a way that I see that don’t have any buffers or compromises in them Picture Quote #1

I guess I am ruthless too because that’s what makes a great artist. But I also respect people, I don’t go around stepping on their heads Picture Quote #1
