Art is an investigation.

Dancers are allowed, indeed encouraged, to remain children forever.

There really is nothing I ever had access to that I didn't appreciate.

You don't have a really good idea until you combine two little ideas.

The content and thematic materials of dance is, of itself, like boxing. You play tennis and baseball. But boxing is not a sport you play: you stand up and do it.

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.

Creativity is more about taking the facts, fictions, and feelings we store away and finding new ways to connect them.
