“It's freeing to not be caught up in your own personal baggage.” — Diane Paulus Quote

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

My generation of director has no illusions that we are going to be fed and cared for by subsidized theater in America.

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.

I don't want to be in an art bubble.

You survive cancer but you have still got the emotional baggage.

Knowing that you're the one who's been rejected, God it makes you feel isolated. I defy anybody not to be a bit upset. I felt as though I'd walked into the house trailing all this baggage.

I would recommend getting married young. That way you don't have all the baggage.

I go to the Caribbean for a month every January with hand baggage only. All you need is a passport and a credit card.
