Living had little use for me other than how it could be funneled into dance.

In terms of individuals who actually inspired me, very few of the academic people that I had access to had that power over me. Maybe it's simply because I wasn't that committed to geometry.

I do believe that when dancing is right, the movement possesses a logic common to us all.

Obligation is a flimsy base for creativity, way down the list behind passion, courage, instinct, and the desire to do something great.

But obligation, I eventually saw, is not the same as commitment, and it's certainly not an acceptable reason to stick with something that isn't working

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.

I've always found it necessity to strip away everything but the most fundamental ways to work - the rest is style.
