I'm not after a closed system, I mean I'm after a complicated system in structure, but as far as watching it, I don't think that everything should be decided.

I build duets into bigger works. I like to see people working together. What we call a giant solo in my company is about four bars long while twenty other people are doing something dynamically. I like the charge that is set up by a lot of people doing something.

Disney is thrilling and informative and important and beautiful and suspect. Butts was a detail I observed later and definitely ties in. I suppose I was programmed, yeah.

Well let's see; I'm not obsessed with... I like Walt Disney except that you know, except for the horrible fascism. I love the art of it. I like a lot of things I don't agree with and that's one of them.

That piece has been choreographed so badly so many times. I'm loathe to do it but I may eventually because it is one of the seminal art works of the twentieth century.

We're all in the same room, so I want people to be involved with one another, but again you can't decide exactly to what extent that operates. It varies all the time and it depends on the show, it depends on the audience, it depends on everything.

Perhaps... I mean there are people who defend that it as an art. I don't. I like it but it's not an art form as far as I'm concerned, and yet it's a similar thing, once you can't land those jumps, you're disqualified - that precludes it from ever becoming a serious art form.

I love the way in which I make up dances. It's a complicated way and the product is usually clear. Clear and simple. I don't need everybody to know that there are all of these fabulous things going on. If you CAN see it, that's wonderful.

I'm not after a closed system, I mean I'm after a complicated system in structure, but as far as watching it, I don't think that everything should be decided.

Usually that's going into biology in a certain way. There's certain strengths and weaknesses to both of the sexes. And I'm not against employing those nor am I against denying those, what I am looking for is a very large array of options.

A recording of a performance is a recording of a performance. It's not the performance.

Being queer you're supposed to adore figure skating. It's a sport, not an art. I love the costumes and hate the music and of course I worship Johnny Weir because so does he. Also he's real. It's a full gay thing and it always has been.

Every child dances, and then you learn not to.

Here's the thing, I've been cooking more and more and I'm pretty good; the problem is I can only go out to restaurants that cook better than I do, therefore, it's expensive.

I can read music, but I have no technique, and singing was never an option even though I sang a lot growing up.

I have a beautiful, big bathtub.

I love making up titles.

I never eat standing up, I never eat in front of the refrigerator. I treat myself very formally with meals. I don't watch TV or read. It's a little bit of a ritual, and it's more enjoyable.

I teach class. I study music. I rehearse. I coach people. That's it. I'm doing exactly what I want.

I'm really drawn to West Coast composers and I think it has a little something to do with looking across the Pacific instead of looking across the Atlantic.

It never occurred to me that I'd have a dance company.

No dance has ever turned out the way I thought it would, because I trust enough that I can start something with some ideas and then it takes itself somewhere.

Some people only work to recorded music because it's so reliable and exactly the same every time, which is exactly why I don't.

Sunday is a day of rest.

Sure, I could give advice; I could, say, travel the world, listen to music. But all I can really say is do something you want to do and do it well. And if you want to be a choreographer, then you have to make dances.

The goal of Sunday is to leave my home as little as possible.

There was always dance in opera until people forgot to keep it going.

My own view would be to let Saddam bluster, let him rant and rave all he wants. As long as he behaves himself within his own borders, we should not be addressing any attack or resources against him.

A woman is only a woman but a good cigar is a smoke.

I don't use the phrase 'I love you' very often, but I say it every time I talk to my children.

I think as a kid I always liked to listen to people. I loved hearing stories.

To me, getting notes, honing the part, and refining the role is the real fun of the play.

The desire for self-improvement is vital. There is no point in pushing children; they need to be the ones who want to learn new skills.

There's obviously a lot of tragedy in comedy; I really enjoy the paradox of what a really good comedy is.

Well, 'They Live' was a primal scream against Reaganism of the '80s. And the '80s never went away. They're still with us. That's what makes 'They Live' look so fresh - it's a document of greed and insanity. It's about life in the United States then and now. If anything, things have gotten worse.

Networking that matters is helping people achieve their goals.

It's a compulsion. I'm always changing parts of me. Even when I was young, I wanted to change my hair color. I was so determined that I dyed my hair with Kool-Aid.

I've sometimes thought of marrying - and then I've thought again.

I'm taller than most actresses, so most corsets tend to be too short in the body.

I think Vegas is the answer for pregnant people because of insomnia. It's open all the time and you go down and play your silly slots.

Loyalty is still the same, whether it win or lose the game; true as a dial to the sun, although it be not shined upon.

God made you a masterpiece - be blessed, secure, disciplined and equipped.

A wisely chosen illustration is almost essential to fasten the truth upon the ordinary mind, and no teacher can afford to neglect this part of his preparation.

Childhood is the one story that stands by itself in every soul.

You make my dopamine levels go all silly.

Really advanced civilization is based on advances in energy.

I'll be honest with you: not a chance in this world. But you know, stranger things have happened.

The records fell easily at first. Dozens of seconds peeled away with every running of a course, and I could hardly wait for the next chance to improve.

I'd really like to go back to New Japan because it feels like home, and I love that place so much.
