The thing that keeps me interested is that I love stories. I love going to movies and I love watching stuff that sparks ideas in my brain.

I love the process of working with people and having things going on, all the time, and just trying to trust your instincts.

I never knew Steve Jobs. I met him once, but I never knew him. But growing up in the Silicon Valley, he was the hero. He was the guy.

A director is what a director wants to be. If you want to force something, you can fight to the death and maybe get fired, but it's your job to help push things along.

Once you see dance as a weapon - and everyone has a different weapon - it makes dance really interesting.

What always gives me peace of mind is that the best are the best. People who float to the top will always float to the top.

What keeps me motivated is that I'm going to do a bunch of projects with dancers, and the people who compel me and make me love dance again are the ones I want to hire because they'll do that for others who are watching the thing. So yeah, it is difficult to crush dream sometimes, but they're all professional and they know what the deal is.
