The dance world is too small in lots of ways - it's too intense, it rattles around itself, and it needs exposing to other ideas.

We could ask artists from abroad to come in too, so that there could be a mixing and matching of skills from Europe, America and here which would widen our world.

One of our problems is our sense of discipline - dancers have an extraordinary sense of self-discipline.

We need to think on a broader plane, we need to do more than we're doing.

Then I came in twice a week - for my own enjoyment as well as to be a guide. And then we started to apply some of the splinters of the ideas back into the piece.

Yes - it's the same in any other work - the more you massage your thinking the more capable I believe you are of expanding how you go about things and learning.

It's not just for its influence on us, but to knowknow that we can play a part in it, to understand the influence that we have outside our own existence.

If I only made dances about my own experience in dance, it would always be on my track, and I don't want that, I want to be on the track of where dance can take me.

There's a mass of places, really, where the idea started.

Well, it's not full time - my dancers are only paid for six months of the year in two three-month blocks; but yes, it is possible we could do it in another year.

I don't start a piece knowing exactly what effect it's going to have. There is a seed of an idea that I could never articulate, right at the beginning of the piece, literally like one cell.

One time, I was posing on a car for a calendar shoot. I was doused with oil and literally slid off the car, bikini, heels and all!

Control does not come from strong police forces, does not come from oppression and repression, does not come from violating people's rights or giving the security systems undue powers

Technology has developed to a whole other level and theres the scientist part of me that loves that stuff.

Every living cell in your body is made from the food you eat. If you consistently eat junk food then you'll have a junk body.

Freedom is now or never.

I'm never very good with marks. They're always like, 'You're not on your mark'. I was like, 'Oh, it's that thing you put on the ground? Yeah, I don't pay attention to it.'

We shouldn't be afraid to fail- if we are not failing we are not pushing.

Any artist must expect to work amid the total, rational indifference of everybody else to their work, for years, perhaps for life.

For the listener, who listens in the snow, / And, nothing himself, beholds / Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.
