I thought I had to make an impact on history. I had to become the greatest choreographer of my time. That was my mission. Posterity deals with us however it sees fit. But I gave it 20 years of my best shot.

Without passion, all the skill in the world won't lift you above craft.

We get into ruts when we run with the first idea that pops into our head, not the last one.

In the future, I will make certain that I commit to projects so there's enough breathing space for me to have an emotional life.

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

The only thing I fear more than change is no change. The business of being static makes me nuts.

The rewards of dancing are very different from choreographing.
