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.

Although I write to entertain, and try to keep my work free of didacticism, I do have a rather passionate belief in our need to be connected to - and to learn from - history.

Technology is characterized by constant change, rapid innovation, creative destruction, and revolutionary products.

Me, my literary reputation is mostly abroad, but I am anchored here in New York. I can't think of any other place I'd rather die than here.
