Julian Schnabel quotes about
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.
marketing too-much attention

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.
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.

firsts painting plates
I wanted to show painting paintings first, then the plate paintings; now I can show that I've sort of freed myself from stylistic inhibitions.
faces looks felt
I don't know if I could, like, see a face and know what the face of beauty looks like, but after I've seen it I know if I've felt like it was beauty.
beautiful thinking feelings
I think beauty is a feeling that you get after you've had an experience. It's the way you feel about it that is beautiful.
saxophone painting notes
Making a painting is like playing the saxophone. You hit the note and it comes out.
done stories palestinian
The movie [Miral] is not pro-Palestinian. It's about Palestinians. It's a Palestinian story, written by a Palestinian person. I don't know anybody else that could have done that
