More quotes by 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 use cinematic things in a theatrical way on stage, and in film I use theatrical techniques in a cinematic way.
Julie Taymor
What I don't have in theater is editing.
Julie Taymor
We're really having a problem right now in our culture. I haven't seen one movie lately in which the story and visuals have been equally good.
Julie Taymor
When I'm sculpting, I work with wood and clay, and though some say that an image is already in the material and the sculptor just has to discover it, I also believe you have an image in your head that you're trying to get to. So you're in a dialogue with the piece, a back-and-forth.
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
My God, it transformed me. My life changed.
Julie Taymor
I am creative in my living space - the designer in me helps that out.
Julie Taymor
I'm not going to spend two years on a film or four years on an opera if I don't feel like I can put my own self into it. That doesn't mean it has to be about myself.
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 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
You program music with an image and then people are desensitized.
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
I've had male executives say that my lead character was unlikable because she slept with a lot of guys.
Julie Taymor
People will justify whatever for a good cause.
Julie Taymor
Theater is far superior to film in poetry, in abstract poetry.
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
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
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
Limitations force you to find the essence of what you want to say, which is one of the most important things to know for an artist.
