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

Men and women are very different athletes, and frankly, I didn't want to deal with the male potential.

Creativity is not just for artists. It's for businesspeople looking for a new way to close a sale; it's for engineers trying to solve a problem; it's for parents who want their children to see the world in more than one way.

I can't emphasize this idea enough. Getting involved with your collaborator's problems almost always distracts you from your own. That can be tempting. That can be a relief. But it usually leads to disaster.

The more you know, the better you can imagine.

To make real change, you have to be well anchored - not only in the belief that it can be done, but also in some pretty real ways about who you are and what you can do.

I don't mean this, but I'm going to say it anyway. I don't really think of pop art and serious art as being that far apart.
