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 wanted to be a male ballet dancer.

I'd date someone younger or older; age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.

I've had people following me home or standing outside my house. It's strange. I just don't think people were meant to be worshipped or idolised.
