Misbehave more beautifully; more often.

Unlike a lot of choreographers, I don't always start with the music. I often start with a visual artist, and then find music that fits the world of that visual artist.

My influences change all the time; they have to remain current, because they're the things that capture your imagination and make you want to go into the studio.

I like to practise. With every new piece, you make mistakes and you learn. So it's important to get on and have another go.

I enjoy my work too much to force-feed myself with pressure.

Everyone is always telling me that I must be exhausted, but I've learned how to use my time well, and that includes holidays to recharge. I always try to give myself big chunks of time to think about what the next project is going to be.

I've always been just as interested in making people think as I am in making them feel, and one of the things this scientific process allows me to do is make the audience look differently at dance.
