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 hate language. I have my own language, but I also enjoy the English language. Obviously, you don't read a lot of literature and not care about language.

Ultimately there is no such thing as failure. There are lessons learned in different ways.

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

You can only generate ideas when you put pencil to paper, brush to canvas... when you actually do something physical.

I look for dancers who have all the technique in the world. But they must be dancers who are open-minded, who are willing to forget that they know anything. They also have to be gorgeous; they must have a clear image of themselves and strong personalities.
