I know a lot of choreographers prefer to do abstract dance and not be bothered with a story, but even when I'm asked to do classical ballet or a modern piece, I still want to tell a story.

I tell stories through dance, and I think that's why I'm so attracted to the theatre because even the choreography in theatre moves the plot forward at all times.

Political freedom cannot exist without economic freedom; a free mind and a free market are corollaries.

I'm just as insufferable and useless as every other dad is. The dynamic never changes, no matter what you do for a living.

As the river surrenders itself to the ocean, what is inside me moves inside you.

To put a lot of hard work and effort into a project or character and for it to be recognised, how can it not be nice?

bitter is a bad way to live!
