More quotes by 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
People will justify whatever for a good cause.
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
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
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
I use cinematic things in a theatrical way on stage, and in film I use theatrical techniques in a cinematic way.
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 am creative in my living space - the designer in me helps that out.
Julie Taymor
I have never had a problem with people not being able to understand the words and the meanings in Titus.
Julie Taymor
I am, to be quite honest, sick of hero stories.
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'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
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
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
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 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
Children have an easier ability to tap into the surreal than adults do, in a funny kind of way.
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
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
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.
