Acting is not my language at all.

I don't drink milk, and I don't eat bread, pasta or rice. But I eat a lot of meat, chicken, fish and salads.

When a body moves, it's the most revealing thing. Dance for me a minute, and I'll tell you who you are.

I fell in love with New York. It was like every human being, like any relationship. When I was a young New Yorker, it was one city. When I was a grown man, it was another city. I worked with many dance organizations and many wonderful people. In the '90s, it became kind of a hard and unwelcoming city in many ways. It became conservative, like the whole country.

I gave away a lot of works for benefits and then people would also give me back.

Every ballet, whether or not successful artistically or with the public, has given me something important.

Running a company is pretty demanding.
