Text Quotes
It’s freeing to not be caught up in your own personal baggage  (Diane Paulus Quotes) For me, the reason why people go to a mountaintop or go to the edge of the ocean is to look at something larger than themselves. That feeling of awe, of going to a cathedral, it’s all about feeling lost in something bigger than oneself. To me, that’s the definition of spectacle.  (Diane Paulus Quotes) At the core of what I’m doing is a belief in the audience, a belief that populism doesn’t mean dumbing down theater, but rather giving the audience a voice and a role in experiencing theater.  (Diane Paulus Quotes) I think in our culture there’s been a tendency for people to blame the audience. There is a tendency in our industry to say, ‘The audience has left the building. People don’t want culture anymore.’  (Diane Paulus Quotes) Being a director, whether you’re in rehearsal or you’re in auditions or you’re in a creative meeting, is so much to me about being present in the moment. There’s a sense of time stopping.  (Diane Paulus Quotes) I really challenge every actor at the beginning of a process, and I always say, ‘I have an idea that I’m going to bring to the table. I hope and expect that you will have an idea and bring it to the table. But the way I really want to work is that together we’re going to have a third idea that is better than either of our ideas.’  (Diane Paulus Quotes) As a director, I never feel that I have the answers  (Diane Paulus Quotes) I don’t want to be in an art bubble  (Diane Paulus Quotes) Creativity is a form of knowledge  (Diane Paulus Quotes) For me, the reason why people go to a mountaintop or go to the edge of the ocean is to look at something larger than themselves. That feeling of awe, of going to a cathedral, it’s all about feeling lost in something bigger than oneself. To me, that’s the definition of spectacle  (Diane Paulus Quotes) At the core of what I’m doing is a belief in the audience, a belief that populism doesn’t mean dumbing down theater, but rather giving the audience a voice and a role in experiencing theater  (Diane Paulus Quotes) I had this epiphany that I like the interaction with people. I wanted to make things happen at a grassroots level  (Diane Paulus Quotes) When you’re a freelance director, you are hired to create the art, and it kind of stops there  (Diane Paulus Quotes) Art cannot be looked at as an elite, sacred event anymore. It has to be embraced as an accessible, popular form, which is what I believe theater is at its roots  (Diane Paulus Quotes) Opera is the ultimate art form. It has singing and music and drama and dance and emotion and story  (Diane Paulus Quotes) I’ve gotten to the point that I don’t even know what tomorrow brings. When I’m teaching, obviously I’m in town for the class every week  (Diane Paulus Quotes) I grew up with a beautiful gold harp sitting in our living room. My older sister played it  (Diane Paulus Quotes)
