In the end all collaborations are love stories.

You're only kidding yourself if you put creativity before craft.

I have always felt one of the things dance should do - its business being so clearly physical - is challenge the culture's gender stereotypes.

I often say that in making dances I can make a world where I think things are done morally, done democratically, done honestly.

The art of these Fifties movies was in sustaining forever the moment before sex.

I have to feel that each thing I've learned I can push to another point next time. I'm not very good with repetition. I would rather not work than feel that repetition is the order of the day.

I can't emphasize this idea enough. Getting involved with your collaborator's problems almost always distracts you from your own. That can be tempting. That can be a relief. But it usually leads to disaster.
