I'm always interested in working with people who are good team players - that are selfless that way in their interests and dedication to the project.

From Diane Paulus

In Elizabethan England or classical Athens... theater was at the center of, not culture, but society and politics and religion and civic engagement. Those things have a different audience.

From Diane Paulus

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.

From Diane Paulus

It's freeing to not be caught up in your own personal baggage.

From Diane Paulus

I'm sorry, but to ask an audience these days to invest three hours in a show requires your heroine be an understandable and fully rounded character.

From Diane Paulus

As a director, I never feel that I have the answers.

From Diane Paulus

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.'

From Diane Paulus
