More quotes by Julie Taymor
Children have an easier ability to tap into the surreal than adults do, in a funny kind of way.
Julie Taymor
A performance can have amazing visuals and special effects, but it has to tell a good story, even if that story isn't original.
Julie Taymor
An artist is an entertainer, number one - a storyteller who takes people someplace, who gives them what they didn't know they wanted.
Julie Taymor
You don't have to patronize your audience, and you can mix art and commerce in a profound way. You can simultaneously play to the sophisticated, 60-year-old theatergoers and to 4-year-olds.
Julie Taymor
I think that both musicals and opera have a capacity to get to an inner emotional landscape.
Julie Taymor
I want to experience a performance on all levels - I want goose bumps and I want to leave the movie or play arguing about something that's unresolved.
Julie Taymor
What I adore is the juxtaposition of high tech and low tech. It's sort of like I love the sacred and the profane. I love to put these extremes in the same hopper.
Julie Taymor
There is incredible power in the arts to inspire and influence.
Julie Taymor
I am, to be quite honest, sick of hero stories.
Julie Taymor
I have never had a problem with people not being able to understand the words and the meanings in Titus.
Julie Taymor
We have often been attracted to the story of the other, the outcast. And he and I just loved working together, so it just kept happening, and our relationship is completely bound up with our work. We enjoy each other's art.
Julie Taymor
Growing up I had amazing parents who really let me be creative and free. I was the youngest of three by six years, the child who was the outsider and observer. When I went off to Boston to act, I was very young - 10. And my parents didn't fear that. They had the respect to let me make my choices.
Julie Taymor
I use cinematic things in a theatrical way on stage, and in film I use theatrical techniques in a cinematic way.
Julie Taymor
Learning is about much more than science and math. Doing theater, music, and art in school really helps children's minds grow because they're using different parts of their brains. Parents who care should insist on that.
Julie Taymor
I received from my experience in Japan an incredible sense of respect for the art of creating, not just the creative product. We're all about the product. To me, the process was also an incredibly important aspect of the total form.
Julie Taymor
Creativity is a gift, but if you don't know how to use it you might not even know it's there. There's a lot of creativity in the air, but it's meaningless if you're not open to receiving it.
Julie Taymor
I am creative in my living space - the designer in me helps that out.
Julie Taymor
Theater is far superior to film in poetry, in abstract poetry.
Julie Taymor
What I don't have in theater is editing.
Julie Taymor
I have directed good actors and have gone through the process which is more detailed in theater in a way. You have to get people to stay for two or three hours in a performance. They need more talk and rehearsal than in films.
