Limits are a secret blessing, and bounty can be a curse.

Dance is the stepchild of the arts.

I learned very early that an audience would relax and look at things differently if they felt they could laugh with you from time to time. There's an energy that comes through the release of tension that is laughter.

I would have to challenge the term, modern dance. I don't really use that term in relation to my work. I simply think of it as dancing. I think of it as moving.

Modern dancers should be doing things no one else is doing, and it should come from the gut.

I was valedictorian. Did I enjoy going to school? I hated it. It wasn't a choice on my part, it was expected.

The way I enjoyed spending time most was dancing. That's from the time I was a very small child, When I was 4 or 5 years old, I remember already having a regime. It was the way I always identified myself.
