Judgment is not my business. Existing is my business.

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

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

I can't emphasize this idea enough. Getting involved with your collaborator's problems almost always distracts you from your own. That can be tempting. That can be a relief. But it usually leads to disaster.

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

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.
