I don't think that scheduling is uncreative. I think that structure is required for creativity.

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

Reading, conversation, environment, culture, heroes, mentors, nature – all are lottery tickets for creativity. Scratch away at them and you’ll find out how big a prize you’ve won.

Creativity is an act of defiance.

I think a sense of humor will help get a girl out of a dark place.

I would have to challenge the term, modern dance. I don't really use that term in relation to my work. I simply think of it as dancing. I think of it as moving.
