Creativity is not just for artists. It's for businesspeople looking for a new way to close a sale; it's for engineers trying to solve a problem; it's for parents who want their children to see the world in more than one way.

I was interested in becoming a show dancer, for which I tried, but I'm not tall enough.

The more you fail in private, the less you will fail in public.

I always find that the best collaborations are when you work with people that know what they're doing, and you leave them alone to do it.

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

I also had a will that let me eliminate everything that stood in the way of my becoming the best dancer I could be. By a gradual process... (I) had invested every bit of my dreams, my hopes, my energies in defining myself as a dancer.

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.
