I read for growth, firmly believing that what you are today and what you will be in five years depends on two things: the people you meet and the books you read.

when dancing is right, the movement possesss a logic common to us all, an inevitability that takes it beyond the personal and egocentric and makes of it classical art.

The content and thematic materials of dance is, of itself, like boxing. You play tennis and baseball. But boxing is not a sport you play: you stand up and do it.

In dreams, anything can be anything, and everybody can do. We can fly, we can turn upside down, we can transform into anything.

Art is an investigation.

I don't believe in rushing and saying this is done and over with. That form of rebellion doesn't make sense to me. I've always attempted to familiarize myself with the traditions, and consider that a responsibility of the artist.

I have the wherewithal to challenge myself for my entire life. That's a great gift.
