Dance, dance, otherwise we are lost.

Everything must come from the heart, must be lived.

I'm not interested in how people move, but what moves them.

I'm not so interested in how they move as in what moves them.

I am more interested in what moves people, than how they move.

I want to feel something, as a person. I don't want to be bored.

I didn't want to imitate anybody. Any movement I knew, I didn't want to use.

I'm not interested in how people move; I'm interested in what makes them move.

I loved to dance because I was scared to speak. When I was moving, I could feel.

It was not like I planned even to be a choreographer. It just happened to me somehow.

Repetition is not repetition, ... The same action makes you feel something completely different by the end

To understand what I am saying, you have to believe that dance is something other than technique. We forget where the movements come from. They are born from life. When you create a new work, the point of departure must be contemporary life -- not existing forms of dance.

When I first began choreographing, I never thought of it as choreography but as expressing feelings. Though every piece is different, they are all trying to get at certain things that are difficult to put into words. In the work, everything belongs to everything else - the music, the set, the movement and whatever is said.
