Julian Schnabel - biography

“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.”

“Some people must go to extremes to get the world in balance for themselves.  Some can’t bear bright lights, so wherever they go they search for the dark; they turn the lights down, anything to sustain some level of comfort.”

Julian Schnabel directed the following films:
Basquiat (1996)
Before Night Falls (2000)
Le Scaphandre et le papillon (2007)
Miral (2010)
