More quotes by 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
My God, it transformed me. My life changed.
Julie Taymor
In a way, artists are shamans, facilitators who take what's there, channel it through themselves, then put it out there for people to appreciate.
Julie Taymor
Children have an easier ability to tap into the surreal than adults do, in a funny kind of way.
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.
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
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
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
When I was thinking about The Lion King, I said, we have to do what theater does best. What theater does best is to be abstract and not to do literal reality.
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
That's my policy - to be positive, to just hope that something will happen. If you start with all your fears, your receptivity is for the negative.
Julie Taymor
You program music with an image and then people are desensitized.
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've never been a puppeteer, I conceive and I write and I design and I direct. And not just puppets. I direct actors, I direct dancers, I direct singers, I direct films. I also direct puppeteers. I'm really a theatre maker, but there's not a word for that.
Julie Taymor
When you break into song, it's not about dialogue, it's not about how you would speak in a naturalistic sense-it's about expressing your inner torment or your inner joy.
Julie Taymor
I am, to be quite honest, sick of hero stories.
Julie Taymor
I call myself a playmaker sometimes - but that's just a word. I don't feel like I have to have a title or a job description.
Julie Taymor
Americans are attracted to the dark side. But which movies should be allowed to be violent and show that dark side, and which should not? I don't believe in censorship, but I do think there are horrible movies that are bad for you.
Julie Taymor
I have never had a problem with people not being able to understand the words and the meanings in Titus.
