Diane Paulus

Theatre and opera were always the twin kingdoms that I felt I had to conquer, because they were my parents' favorites.

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

I am always looking for what piece, what artists, what playwrights, what directors, what subject matter is going to catalyze an audience.

I think having a great idea is vastly overrated. I know it sounds kind of crazy and counterintuitive. I don't think it matters what the idea is, almost. You need great execution.

The atoms become like a moth, seeking out the region of higher laser intensity.

Technology is characterized by constant change, rapid innovation, creative destruction, and revolutionary products.
