With each piece I've completed I have worked to make it intact, and each of them has been an equal high. It's like children. A mother refuses to pick out one as a favorite, and I can't do any better with the dances.

I would have to challenge the term, modern dance. I don't really use that term in relation to my work. I simply think of it as dancing. I think of it as moving.

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

Creativity is a habit, and the best creativity is a result of good work habits.

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.

In creative endeavors luck is a skill.

In the not-for-profit world, there can be wastefulness because there's not the desperate urgency of when you're on a clock.
