I would like to go and dance in Palestine one day, with great pleasure, great pleasure.

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

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

Dance is an ephemeral, a fleeting art. To describe this momentum, every movement on stage, in words is virtually impossible.

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.

What do dancers think of Fred Astaire? It's no secret. We hate him. He gives us a complex because he's too perfect. His perfection is an absurdity. It's too hard to face.

Running a company is pretty demanding.
