You are the architect of your own loneliness.

I will never lose anything that an audience will miss.I turned things that were scripted as effects into in-camera stuff, which is sexier.

For me, there was never an end game for becoming a director.

I actually had less time and the exact same budget on Hairspray, which was few years ago and this is a much bigger movie [then Rock of Ages]. That's the way studios do it now.

I'm living at a very intense discomfort level because my career has been predicated on safety.

When the opportunity to choreograph came up, it was nothing more in my head but an opportunity. Then it suddenly became a career very quickly.

The discovery of dance has changed my life in unimaginable ways.
