So many dancers feel that what they look like is more important than who they are. This is a real danger for dancers who focus for years on appearances and think of themselves as merely a body. The choreographer can't work with them in the realm of ideas. It's a huge problem if they haven't been connecting internally. If they've decided that what's inside is of little value, they can only try to approximate some kind of look.

Fear, safety, and conformity make you mediocre and average

What’s interesting about you is you.

The deep art... That's the part that has to be guarded like a miser would his money... Like a dope addict would his dope... Like a lover with their love.

Be IN it. Get drunk in the moment.

Art is a form of intelligence, it can be developed, it's linked to intuition and it's something that all humans have

The purpose of art is higher than art. What we are really interested in are masterpieces of humanity.
