William Walker may refer to:...
hated indians sad spaghetti subjected westerns
As a child, I was subjected to a lot of spaghetti Westerns and hated them. I wanted the Indians to win - or just not be so sad!
believe people strive though
I don't know how much I believe in redemptive stories, even though people want them and strive for them.
early respond stance took work
I took a political stance early on, but I don't think my work is overtly political. I respond to events.
abject paper work
My work is really abject and self-effacing sometimes. I mean, it's big and overwrought, but it's just paper dolls, and it's kind of silly.
history illusion point simply work

I was making big paintings with mythological themes. When I started painting black figures, the white professors were relieved, and the black students were like, 'She's on our side.' These are the kinds of issues that a white male artist just doesn't have to deal with.
missing
What we're missing with Antoine is another scorer, a big-time scorer.

We've seen 25 percent more orders and order values over the past six months.
