More quotes by 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
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
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
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
I've had male executives say that my lead character was unlikable because she slept with a lot of guys.

There is incredible power in the arts to inspire and influence.

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
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
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
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 am creative in my living space - the designer in me helps that out.
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
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 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.

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
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
Some people become dullards, but as children we are all creative. It's in the programming, the socialization, that we lose our sense of play.
Julie Taymor
My God, it transformed me. My life changed.
