More quotes by Julie Taymor
People will justify whatever for a good cause.
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
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
But I don't think there has ever been anything written on the nature of violent man as deep and as thorough as Shakespeare's Titus. I think it puts all modern movies and modern exploitations of violence to shame.
Julie Taymor
I lived in Indonesia for four years and I understand trance and magic and where it comes from.
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
I am creative in my living space - the designer in me helps that out.
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 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've had male executives say that my lead character was unlikable because she slept with a lot of guys.
Julie Taymor
In a way, artists are shamans, facilitators who take what's there, channel it through themselves, then put it out there for people to appreciate.
Julie Taymor
I have never had a problem with people not being able to understand the words and the meanings in Titus.
Julie Taymor
My God, it transformed me. My life changed.
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
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
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
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
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
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 am, to be quite honest, sick of hero stories.
Julie Taymor
