For me, choreography is a process of physical thinking. It's very much in mind as well as in body.

Misbehave more beautifully; more often.

I like to practise. With every new piece, you make mistakes and you learn. So it's important to get on and have another go.

I've always been just as interested in making people think as I am in making them feel, and one of the things this scientific process allows me to do is make the audience look differently at dance.

Choreography and creativity - it's my matrix; let's see where we can move.

My influences change all the time; they have to remain current, because they're the things that capture your imagination and make you want to go into the studio.

Each citizen should play his part in the community according to his individual gifts.

If we really talked about what's wrong with you, you'd need a 7-1/2-hour movie and nobody would know what category to put it in!

Depression is the aftermath of credit expansion.

I win on my merits; my opponents win by cheating.

Uncertainty and the prospect of failure can be very scary noises in the shadows. Most people will choose unhappiness over uncertainty.
