I think theatres will always remain a sacred place where people go for something live and experience things live, which is very different than the experience of film.

I know a lot of choreographers prefer to do abstract dance and not be bothered with a story, but even when I'm asked to do classical ballet or a modern piece, I still want to tell a story.

I tell stories through dance, and I think that's why I'm so attracted to the theatre because even the choreography in theatre moves the plot forward at all times.

I don't want to work with someone who's nervous, I want to work with someone who is fearless

I think a woman who is successful is critiqued more harshly than a man is critiqued.

I believe in serendipity, but I also believe there are times when you have to be the one who lines up everything so it can fall into place.

I am a storyteller, and I grew up with a father who told big-fish stories, so storytelling is very much a part of me. It was a part of my family.

I'm really happy when I'm immersed in the art of it all - immersed in the music, the dance, the visual. Tapping into joy - it saves you.

I always say that you can't be afraid to ask the question. What's the worst that could happen? The answer could be "no" and you go on.

I would love to direct a play. But I think when people look at me they see music and dancing and singing.

It is true that I visualize music and, as I visualize music, I have some sort of story running in my head, all the time.

God is always present. We’re the ones who show up.

A story knows its way.

I'm always easily frightened and I hate being scared. I've never been able to go on the haunted house rides at carnivals of anything like that my imagination just takes over!

Sometimes belts are flattering, and it helps with proportions.

Plus, humor ws a good way to hide the pain. And if that didn't work, there was always Plan B. Run aaway. Over and over.

If we're gonna progress as a people we are going to realise that, as one of my favourite poets says, the other is a lie. There are no other people. Race is a social construct.

If you can't take the heat, don't tickle the dragon.

Perhaps there is no more dangerous place for a Christian to be than in safety and comfort, detached from the suffering of others.

Fans are fans. I hated and loved them, hated and loved them, hated and loved them.

The hocus-pocus phantasm of a God, like another Cerberus, with one body and three heads, had its birth and growth in the blood of thousands and thousands of martyrs.
