“Every great dance company, even when it seems poised in perfect balance, needs constant renewal of both repertory and performers.”

“I hated Matthew Bourne's 'Swan Lake' when it first turned up, and then when it was televised, and then when it returned.”

“Ballet companies have their ups and downs, just like the rest of us.”

“I personally take cues directly from the script, then I like to surprise the other actors. But you must maintain control on a level and see how far you can go up, down or out emotionally. You have to balance the craft with spontaneity.”

“I think we're probably more unified than ever before because we're in a battle for survival. Not only for survival as the Republican Party, but survival of the check and balance system in our government.”

“The challenge in my life really is keeping the balance between feeling creatively energized and fulfilled without feeling overwhelmed and like I'm in the middle of a battlefield.”
