More quotes by 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 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 have never had a problem with people not being able to understand the words and the meanings in Titus.
Julie Taymor
There is incredible power in the arts to inspire and influence.
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
I think that both musicals and opera have a capacity to get to an inner emotional landscape.
Julie Taymor
I call myself a playmaker sometimes - but that's just a word. I don't feel like I have to have a title or a job description.
Julie Taymor
I am, to be quite honest, sick of hero stories.
Julie Taymor
I am creative in my living space - the designer in me helps that out.
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
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
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
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 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
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
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
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
Americans are attracted to the dark side. But which movies should be allowed to be violent and show that dark side, and which should not? I don't believe in censorship, but I do think there are horrible movies that are bad for you.
Julie Taymor
Growing up I had amazing parents who really let me be creative and free. I was the youngest of three by six years, the child who was the outsider and observer. When I went off to Boston to act, I was very young - 10. And my parents didn't fear that. They had the respect to let me make my choices.
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.
