“First of all I think of puppets as sculpture. They are sculpture that moves. You could label it any way you want, but for me it always starts in my mind as a sculpture.” ThinkingWayWantMindFirstsMovingLabelsSculpturePuppets Author:Wayne White
“Puppets are pure form then ideas for performance come out of that. It's always the form and the visuals and that's why I like to make puppets in a gallery or museum. They're not often in those contexts.” IdeasFormPurePerformancesVisualsMuseumsGalleryPuppets Author:Wayne White
“Art should be as inclusive as possible. That's why I like bringing the low form of puppetry and elevating it into a sculpture form, but it's still a puppet also.” ShouldArtStillsFormLowsSculpturePuppetsElevating Author:Wayne White
“Static puppets, I wanted them to move, they're looking out the windows, but we didn't have time to rig those. I have more ideas than I can execute also every time that I do anything. I put the puppets in because people love 'em. I'm a populist in that sense.” PeopleI CanIdeasWantedMovingWindowEmsStaticPuppetsPopulistRigs Author:Wayne White
“I want to reach out and entertain people. I want people to come to a museum that have never been in a museum before. I want also to have enough art references in it that would satisfy the most sophisticated museum goer.” PeopleWantArtEnoughMuseumsReach OutSophisticated Author:Wayne White

“I become exaggerated, and loud, and obnoxious, and full of the spirit of improvisation. That's one of the weird things about performing, I think that any performer will say the same thing when you're on stage in front of a crowd there's a certain moment when you kind of click into a trance-like state and you just kind of go with it. I love getting into that mode.

“I'm probably the worst person in the world to give advice to puppeteers. My whole attitude towards puppets from the beginning was not one of love, but it was like anti-puppetry.” WorldGivingPersonsWholeAttitudeWorstAdvicePuppetsPuppeteerWorst Person Author:Wayne White
“I wanted to deconstruct the puppet show. I wanted to turn it inside out and do stuff that you're not supposed to do. I didn't want it to be gentle like most puppet shows tend to be, since they come from childhood where you're gently trying to tell a story. I wanted to blast all that out of the water. I think there's plenty of room of any kind of attitude toward puppets. I call puppeteering acting while hiding.” ThinkingWantTryingKindStoriesShowsWantedTurnsStuffWaterRoomsActingAttitudeChildhoodPlentyGentleHidingBlastPuppetsPuppet Shows Author:Wayne White
“You're free because you don't have to expose yourself, and you can go wild, and let your id completely out of its box, and nobody will see you because you're operating through a surrogate. It's an opportunity to crack open your shell, to melt down yourself, and just let yourself go. It's a form of catharsis for me.” FormOpportunityBoxesCracksShellsCatharsisSurrogates Author:Wayne White
