An artist should not fall in love with another artist.

Do you know what's most interesting? Working with the very strong restrictions of the institution. In the Renaissance, the aristocrats would order paintings from the artist. They would order the Crucifixion of Jesus. The restrictions were amazing. Jesus had to be in the middle, three apostles on the left, four apostles on the right - and still you had masterpieces. It's really interesting to work within restriction, and see what you can do with restriction.

Immaterial art is the strongest because there's no obstacle; there's just energy, and I believe in energy.

I always do big birthday things. In three years, I'm 70. I'm going to do something outrageous. In America, everyone's always hiding their age.

The public is in need of experiences that are not just voyeuristic. Our society is in a mess of losing its spiritual centre.

I didn't get paid for performances most of my life. If I did, I would be billionaire now, and I'm not.

You know I very much respect Yvonne Rainer, she is very important - in American dance, the entire development of modern dance, and creating a wonderful physical language.
