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.

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.

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
Image
Children have an easier ability to tap into the surreal than adults do, in a funny kind of way.
Julie Taymor
Image
My God, it transformed me. My life changed.
Julie Taymor
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
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.

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