“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.”

-- Julian Schnabel -
“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.”
-- Julian Schnabel -
“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.”
-- Julian Schnabel -
“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.”

“There's been too much attention on marketing. Can't we just talk about the paintings?”

-- Julian Schnabel
