If I hung one of my paintings next to someone else's, I knew mine would kind of pop off the wall.
Julian SchnabelMany 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.
Julian SchnabelA 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.
Julian SchnabelI think it's good when people don't write good things about your work. I mean, what a great compliment it is to be called a charlatan.
