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

I had always seen myself as a star; I wanted to be a galaxy.

The necessity to constantly turn in an excellent performance, to be absolutely wedded to this dedication and this ideal means that as a child you're going to pay for it personally.

If you only do what you know and do it very, very well, chances are that you won't fail. You'll just stagnate, and your work will get less and less interesting, and that's failure by erosion

I always find that the best collaborations are when you work with people that know what they're doing, and you leave them alone to do it.

Failing, and learning from it, is necessary. Unil you've done it, you're missing an important piece of your creative arsenal.

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.
