Alone is a fact, a condition where no one else is around. Lonely is how you feel about that.

Everything is raw material. Everything is relevant. Everything is usable. Everything feeds into my creativity. But without proper preparation, I cannot see it, retain it, and use it.

Without the little ideas, there are no big ideas.

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.

There's this expression called postmodernism, which is kind of silly, and destroys a perfectly good word called modern, which now no longer means anything.

I'm not one who divides music, dance or art into various categories. Either something works, or it doesn't.

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