thinking next-day goal
Many people say to me, "I saw [Miral] and it really stayed with me. I woke up the next day and really thought about it, and have been thinking about it for awhile." That was my goal.
people way poetic
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?
focus different attention
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.
thinking people style
When I made my first film, Basquiat, I think one of the criticisms was that the way I work is episodic. Later, as people started to look at the movies, they started to realize that maybe that's my style. If I could do it better or another way, I guess I would.
thinking people unfair
I think it was so unfair that people attacked Freida Pinto for being an Indian, playing a Palestinian.
saxophone painting notes
Making a painting is like playing the saxophone. You hit the note and it comes out.
art interesting addresses
What's interesting about making art is that you take everything you know about it and you bring it up to that point, and you start making a physical thing that addresses what that is. And when you do it, you don't know anything about it - if it's going to work or not work.
dream morning thinking
Sometimes I'll dream that I saw a show and then I'll wake up in the morning and realize that I didn't see the show, that it was my dream. And I just remember what the paintings look like in the dream and I think, "Oh, nobody painted those. I can do that."
dream kids might
Sometimes my kids might tell me they had a dream or and maybe I'll paint some paintings from their dream. That's one good thing you get from your kids. Rob them of their dreams.
thinking use way
I'm not mannerist. I don't think I'm interested in mannerism. If I ever use it in a way, or if manner is like some kind of product of certain sorts of usage of different kinds of materials, then it's about involution or turning in on that.
thinking knowing painting
I think not knowing what to think of your paintings is a good place to be.
crazy artist insane
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.
ideas painting
I have a completely romantic idea about making paintings, I guess.
people world want
In a certain way, my work had set me up to be against lots of things. If there wasn't some sort of sanction for it in the public world, it might have been...it wouldn't have been tolerated, because people don't want things to get shaken up...
