Dancers are allowed, indeed encouraged, to remain children forever.

In terms of individuals who actually inspired me, very few of the academic people that I had access to had that power over me. Maybe it's simply because I wasn't that committed to geometry.

There is obviously a power and a truth in action that doesn't lie, which words easily can do.

In creative endeavors luck is a skill.

That's what improvising is like for me. There's no tollbooth between my impulse and my action.

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

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.
