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.

Composers, like authors, have a lot in common. Our main goal is to connect with the listener emotionally.

Anybody against women, against the ERA, should never be voted into office again.

I confess that I listen to my own music for my own pleasure.
