I'm a creative, but I had to put structure around my creative goals, dreams, and aspirations.

Yes, creativity is freedom plus wealth, but creativity unbridled can become chaos.

My mom said, 'Your gift will make room for you.'

I believe that creativity is freedom and wealth.

You've got to start with the end in mind.

In my life, I've used the idea of where you want to get to as a measure to start.

In classical ballet, we are connected something 'up there' and it's where we wish to be.

In modern dance, we are really connected to what's down in the earth and it grows out of that.

This is one of the differences between classical ballet and modern dance: we are heavy-down, grounded, and earth-bound in modern dance while we are elevation and being up in the air in classical ballet.

And we can actually be part of the events that are actually changing and reshaping our concept of what it means to belong.

The only reason why it’s not going to happen, is because you’re here. And you’re going to do something about it.

We only do this to people when they're aliens. That is, when they're different. Right? . . . But once you're different, once you're "the other," these rules are really easy to apply.

In order to find your artistic voice, you need to make some decisions about what's important to you. What is it that you want to express?

Stories are messy, complicated people exist.

It matters who's telling your stories.

Stories are about people.

We have this really strong desire to tell stories from the past that can help us and other people make better sense of things going on in the world.

We had something to contribute and we could give voice to stories that maybe weren't being voiced.

We knew that it [our work] needed to happen. As consumers of news, we felt that this kind of content needed to be out there in the world.

Yes, we were kind of imposters in ways, but we just knew we could make something good.

We kept going because we were obsessed with making this thing - even if it embarrassed us or it was difficult.

Finding my own voice was important for us to find the voice of the show.

Your vulnerability is important to acknowledge and then get ahead of...

If you're not sure of your self first and foremost, as a creator, then it's hard for other people to feel that confidence in talking to you.

There's unlimited possibilities at the beginning and then you're slowly zero-ing in on what you want to sound like.
