girl thinking perfect
Nobody is perfect. I don't think it's the most scathing indictment of anybody. It's pretty innocuous. [Miral] is just the story of one family and one girl, living in that part of the world, and that's what goes on over there. I thought that maybe it would be informative and useful for people to know more about it.
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.
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.
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."
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.
thinking people facts
I think people have problems sometimes when things are too general. In fact, they are not really general at all.
thinking ghost okay
I think it's your own ghost, seeing the work and just thinking if it will be okay to leave that around.
thinking self painting
I don't think my paintings are self-conscious but you feel the consciousness of them. Without them being self-conscious.
new-york thinking artist
The thing about living in New York is that there are other artists; that is the most difficult, I think they are the hardest critics.
thinking use painter
I think basically I'm a painter, but I would use anything to make my point.
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.
thinking artist issues
I think, basically, I'm an abstract artist. I just think that that's not even an issue. I think everything's abstract.
