Diane Paulus Work Quotations

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.'

I give so much of myself to my work; I want to be with people who are going to be there with me.

I had to drop a boulder to wake people up about the A.R.T. We've done that, and now we have audiences again who want cutting-edge work, who want to be challenged, but who also won't be falling asleep at the theater.

The mission of the A.R.T. is to expand the boundaries of theater through works of the canon and the new works of tomorrow.
