great artists can be uncertain. Of course they are while strugggling to find solutions. Tolstoi's scripts are almost indecipherable. Emily Dickinson provided four or more alternates for every word; Beethoven wrestled with endings to the point of exhaustion; in our day Jerome Robbins and his lack of decision are a byword in the dance profession. But all of these knew very well what they did not want, and what they did not want was the current coin, the well-worn usage. What they wanted was something newly experienced, and therefore unknown and hard to attain.

To make up a dance, I still need, as I needed then, a pot of tea, walking space, privacy and an idea.

My heroines are part of me and my heroes are part of what I'd like to know.

Living is a form of not being sure, not know what next or how... The artists never entirely knows.

The creative urge is the demon that will not accept anything second rate.

The truest expression of a people is in its dances and its music. Bodies never lie.

Find the passion. It takes great passion and great energy to do anything creative. I would go so far as to say you can't do it without that passion.
