We're trying to stretch our muscles creatively. It gives us so much more freedom.

It's weird when you see pieces of choreography that were done for you 15 or 20 years ago and now they are being done by another dance company.

I never liked dance photography; it's very flat, and dance photography in the studio looks very contrived.

I go a lot to see young people downtown in little theaters. It's great. If you start somebody's career, it's so exciting.

When I'm alone, I work sometimes with music, sometimes without and sometimes just listening to NPR.

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

You see, dancers are quite mature people because they start performing so early. They become professionals when they start to take everyday classes.
