Famous quotes by Julie Taymor:

"In today's world, it's more relevant than ever. It's about how do we look at the world from the outsider's point of view, from the monster's point of view."

"This is not to make it easier, it's just to entice people to come."

"I had spent a lot of my life in other cultures. I spent four years in Indonesia. I traveled through Japan. ... I have seen theater practiced in these ways before: mask theater, puppet theater."

"This is just spectacular, spectacular,"

"There's never been a woman that won it, so we don't know, there may never be. But there have not been that many women on Broadway directing, period."

"[One question on everyone's lips is whether a woman will capture best director for a play or musical. This year women are nominated in both categories -- Garry Hynes for the play] The Beauty Queen of Leenane, ... The Lion King."

"I am, to be quite honest, sick of hero stories."

"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."

"It's people who are repressed and cannot express their fears that are dangerous."

"You program music with an image and then people are desensitized."

"I really do believe that if you don't challenge yourself and risk failing, that it's not interesting."

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

"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."

"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."

"You know, I went to Oberlin. At that time, grades were - you elected to have them or not. It was all of that era where grades were out the window. But I did very well in school. I didn't really study the arts; I practiced the arts."

"When I was thinking about The Lion King, I said, we have to do what theater does best. What theater does best is to be abstract and not to do literal reality."

"Theater is far superior to film in poetry, in abstract poetry."

"And I just think that to introduce an unknown Shakespeare is thrilling, too - not to do Hamlet or Romeo and Juliet, to do the richer Shakespeare. People will come to this and not know the story."

"People will justify whatever for a good cause."

"I use cinematic things in a theatrical way on stage, and in film I use theatrical techniques in a cinematic way."
