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

Dance is the stepchild of the arts.

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.

You may wonder which came first: the skill or the hard work. But that's a moot point. The Zen master cleans his own studio. So should you.

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.

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