Diane Paulus Quotes

It’s freeing to not be caught up in your own personal baggage Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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.’ Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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.’ Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I had this epiphany that I like the interaction with people. I wanted to make things happen at a grassroots level Picture Quote #1

When you’re a freelance director, you are hired to create the art, and it kind of stops there Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Opera is the ultimate art form. It has singing and music and drama and dance and emotion and story Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I grew up with a beautiful gold harp sitting in our living room. My older sister played it Picture Quote #1
