I no longer need to have what I see as the surface of the dance so connected to the underlying structure.

I use geometric and mathematical ideas to organize material, but those are tools. The purpose of the work is not to expose that at all, but to arrive at some kind of expressiveness.

If the simple positions of ballet are demonstrated straight on, they seem quite dull and lifeless, but when put on a diagonal, they begin to take on all kinds of possibilities.

The diagonal gives a three-dimensional feeling to dancers that cannot be achieved when they are only front and back. On the diagonal, more movement is automatically visible.

I think dancing is an emotional experience.

I do not like to be thought of as avant-garde or some kind of didactic artist.

The relationship between the audience and the dancers goes through many different stages. Someone seeing my work for the first time may or may not pick up on that.

I disagree with the idea that modern dancers are cold or unemotional.

I am just a choreographer, and I am trying to make productions, not dance concerts.

I do not like a haphazard connection between the dances and the music.

You are the most important thing to me now. The most important thing to me ever.

To win the people, always cook them some savoury that pleases them.

There is no cure for birth or death save to enjoy the interval.

If you aren't playing well, the game isn't as much fun. When that happens I tell myself just to go out and play as I did when I was a kid.

There's a lot of money being generated by nerds right now. Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, the list goes on and on. Nerds make more money than our government. And with money comes power.

I wonder why it is, that young men are always cautioned against bad girls. Anyone can handle a bad girl. It's the good girls men should be warned against.

... divine love is not something belonging to God: it is God Himself.

The day may come when the rest of the animal creation may acquire those rights which never could have been withholden from them but by the hand of tyranny.

The kingdom of God, which Jesus came to inaugurate, is meant to create an alternate reality in this world, and ultimately to transform the kingdoms of this world.
