lots people treating understand
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.
people looks rooms
There are generations of people who have never seen a big plate painting in person. And they don't know what the hell they look like, they don't know what it feels like to stand in a room with them.
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?
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.
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...
thinking people facts
I think people have problems sometimes when things are too general. In fact, they are not really general at all.
people painting impatient
I was always very...impatient about showing my paintings to people.
thinking space people
Some people might think that the paintings are involved with a mythic - not just subject matter - but a certain sort of physical space that the paintings occupy...like personages.
voice people who-cares
I'm not saying I'm the only Jewish person who cares about Palestinian people, but unfortunately, their voices are not necessarily heard as loudly as they should be.
artist people ruthless
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.
dark light people
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.
people may painting
My early paintings weren't that good - I was very influenced by Francis Bacon. But there was a kind of intensity there. And however influenced they may have been by other people, even my earliest paintings were recognisably my own.
nice thinking people
I think that truth is stranger than fiction, and it's nice to know the people you're making a movie about.
