Sure, I could give advice I could, say, travel the world, listen to music. But all I can really say is do something you want to do and do it well. And if you want to be a choreographer, then you have to make dances.

If nobody comes to your shows, then it's modern dance. If everybody comes to your shows and no one likes it, is that ballet? I don't know.

Here's the thing, I've been cooking more and more and I'm pretty good, the problem is I can only go out to restaurants that cook better than I do, therefore, it's expensive.

I build duets into bigger works. I like to see people working together. What we call a giant solo in my company is about four bars long while twenty other people are doing something dynamically. I like the charge that is set up by a lot of people doing something.

Some people only work to recorded music because it's so reliable and exactly the same every time, which is exactly why I don't.

I teach class. I study music. I rehearse. I coach people. That's it. I'm doing exactly what I want.

I have a beautiful, big bathtub.

As I have said before, dancing is for anyone, but not for everyone.

There was always dance in opera until people forgot to keep it going.

Audiences don't want to see the kind of self-indulgent, boring dance that is so prevalent today.

Every child dances, and then you learn not to.

I never eat standing up, I never eat in front of the refrigerator. I treat myself very formally with meals. I don't watch TV or read. It's a little bit of a ritual, and it's more enjoyable.

Usually that's going into biology in a certain way. There's certain strengths and weaknesses to both of the sexes. And I'm not against employing those nor am I against denying those, what I am looking for is a very large array of options.

I have a fabulous life. It is interesting and rigorous. I work hard. So leave me alone. Watch my dust. Shut up.
