Nothing is ever too expensive if it furthers the repertoire and artistic standards of a dance company.

To achieve some depth in your field requires a lot of sacrifices.

I think art education, especially in this country, which government pretty much ignores, is so important for young people.

Although I don't gamble in life - I've never played poker - I do gamble on stage. I gamble with myself: 'Can I do this?'

I found that dance, music, and literature is how I made sense of the world... it pushed me to think of things bigger than lifes daily routines... to think beyond what is immediate or convenient.

I am teaching more. That is what I do best.

I like the most provocative and most surprising partnerships on stage. Intensity and surprise.
