A commission is an invitation to fall in love.

I've always found it necessity to strip away everything but the most fundamental ways to work - the rest is style.

You don't get into the mood to create – it's discipline.

The routine is as much a part of the creative process as the lightening bold of inspiration, maybe more. And this routine is available to everyone.

Modern dancers should be doing things no one else is doing, and it should come from the gut.

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.

Creativity requires quite a lot of faith - not just in yourself but also in the knowledge that you have the right to proceed, even when you may not know exactly what you're doing.
