More quotes by 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
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
Children have an easier ability to tap into the surreal than adults do, in a funny kind of way.
Julie Taymor
In America, the word art has become like the word adultery. It's this big scarlet letter. When you say you're an artist, people are like, Ugh.
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
Going to the Far East was my first eye-opener to a world vastly different from my own. Then when I was 16 I lived in Paris for a year and studied mime. At 21 I went to Indonesia. I had planned to go for three months, but I stayed four years. I just got lost in the culture.
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
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 think that both musicals and opera have a capacity to get to an inner emotional landscape.
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
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
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
People will justify whatever for a good cause.
Julie Taymor
I am creative in my living space - the designer in me helps that out.
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
Theater is far superior to film in poetry, in abstract poetry.
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 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.
