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

When you stimulate your body, your brain comes alive in ways you can't simulate in a sedentary position.

I think that anyone who's pushed to do the very best that they can is privileged. It's a luxury.

I've survived inattention. I hope to God I survive attention.

If you only do what you know and do it very, very well, chances are that you won't fail. You'll just stagnate, and your work will get less and less interesting, and that's failure by erosion

Traveling the paths of greatness, even in someone else's footprints, is a vital means to acquiring skill.

I do believe that when dancing is right, the movement possesses a logic common to us all.
