Dancing is like bank robbery, it takes split-second timing.

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

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

I was valedictorian. Did I enjoy going to school? I hated it. It wasn't a choice on my part, it was expected.

Just when you arrive at the apex of your skills, it's time to retire. But as it turned out, I decided that since it was the thing that I felt I did best, I owed it to all that be to pursue it.

You double your intensity with skill.

Usually kids who are talented have the brashness to think they can do anything, but they don't often get the chance to see how close they can come.
