O Magazine interview

Winfrey interviews Taymor for O Magazine. Taymor is asked how she fuels her creativity and successful career:

Mythology, folklore, the different places I’ve traveled all of it feeds me. But I also have very good people around me. I tend to collaborate with the same people over and over. The set designer, George Tsypin, has done six operas with me. My lighting designer started 14 years ago and did The Lion King and every show I’ve done since. I do have a new costume designer, Eiko Ishioka. I love doing costumes, but that would have been too much for me to handle.
