There really is nothing I ever had access to that I didn't appreciate.
Twyla Tharp
I've always had to keep the walls in place, and the only way to do that is to keep yourself constantly occupied... From the time I was 8 years old, until I went to college, I worked... There was no social life.
Twyla Tharp
I'm willing to be regarded as a tyrant to keep my vision intact.
Twyla Tharp
With each piece I've completed I have worked to make it intact, and each of them has been an equal high. It's like children. A mother refuses to pick out one as a favorite, and I can't do any better with the dances.
Twyla Tharp
Without the little ideas, there are no big ideas.

Twyla Tharp
You can keep on chewing gum for ten hours, but after about a minute and a half you've got all the good out of it.
Twyla Tharp

Twyla Tharp

Twyla Tharp
I've always found it necessity to strip away everything but the most fundamental ways to work - the rest is style.
Twyla Tharp
I am fairly concise when I work and I work quickly because I think work is done better in a high gear than done our in a gear when everyone's exhausted. Get focused, do it!
Twyla Tharp
Solitude is an unavoidable part of creativity. Self-reliance is a happy by-product.
Twyla Tharp
The more you know, the better you can imagine.
Twyla Tharp
When I'm in the studio, when I'm warm, when I'm what people call improvising, I feel a very special connection. I feel the most right. I don't want to become too mystic about this, but things feel as though they're in the best order at that particular moment.
Twyla Tharp
The great ones never take fundamentals for granted.
Twyla Tharp
You have to believe there's something at the other side. And you have to have faith in yourself. You have to think that you have the tools to accomplish it.
Twyla Tharp
Men and women are very different athletes, and frankly, I didn't want to deal with the male potential.
