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'm interested in all kinds of pictures, however they are made, with cameras, with paint brushes, with computers, with anything.

I want to do just, like, regular art. Whatever is made today on canvas goes up against all of art history. It's the most radical thing.

Political differences will always generate a healthy debate, but over time the dialogue has become more hateful and at times violent.
