I was a chubby, unathletic kid and conformed to every possible stereotype you could imagine of someone who would end up in public broadcasting.

You will be fierce. You will fearless. And you will make work you know in your heart is not as good as you want it to be.

I'm going to go with Chihuahua, just because I can't think of anything more frightening than a giant Chihuahua.

I would just like say to you with all my heart is that most everybody I know who does interesting creative work, they went through a phase of years where they had really good taste and they could tell what they were making wasn’t as good as they wanted it to be.

You will be stupid. You will worry your parents. You will question your own choices, your relationships, your jobs, your friends, where you live, what you studied in college, that you went to college at all... If that happens, you're doing it right.

If you're not failing all the time, you're not creating a situation where you can get lucky.

Honestly, I am so ignorant of how dance works that I cant even imagine a story that you would want to tell through movement.
