I often say that in making dances I can make a world where I think things are done morally, done democratically, done honestly.

Dance is the most fundamental of all art forms.

'The Creative Habit' is basically about how you work alone, how you survive as a solitary artist. 'The Collaborative Habit' is obviously about surviving with other people.

I always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.

A quick shallow fry is a great way to transform leftovers, and no more so than in the case of risotto.

People say, 'Where do you live?' and I say that theoretically, I live in London, but basically that's just where I go to change my suitcase. Otherwise, I'm always flying somewhere.
