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.

More quotes by Julie Taymor
Americans in particular are myopic. They're not traveling as much. When you were a college student, the next thing you would do on graduation was to take a year off and travel. That's what I did. I went to Indonesia.
Julie Taymor
I've had male executives say that my lead character was unlikable because she slept with a lot of guys.
Julie Taymor
What I don't know for sure is what's next for me - and I don't mind that. I know for sure that whatever happens will be interesting and will challenge and excite me.
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
People will justify whatever for a good cause.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
Julie Taymor
I lived in Indonesia for four years and I understand trance and magic and where it comes from.
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
My God, it transformed me. My life changed.
Julie Taymor
I have never had a problem with people not being able to understand the words and the meanings in Titus.
Julie Taymor
One of the reasons I love to jump back and forth between mediums is that film does allow me to be more literal. I can go to the real place. I can go to the Coliseum, and I don't have to fake it.
Julie Taymor
I think that both musicals and opera have a capacity to get to an inner emotional landscape.
Julie Taymor
I use cinematic things in a theatrical way on stage, and in film I use theatrical techniques in a cinematic way.
