dance stupid thinking
It is extremely arrogant and very foolish to think that you can ever outwit your audience.
thinking gears done
I am fairly concise when I work and I work quickly because I think work is done better in a high gear than done our in a gear when everyone's exhausted. Get focused, do it!
thinking decision body
I don't think politicians should be allowed into power who are not familiar with their bodies, because that's where our bottom line is. And I know that they would make totally different decisions if they felt responsible simply for their own bodies.
book writing thinking
I write. I have read a great deal. I enjoy books. I like the wit of languages. Even French I like. I like to be able to think in different modes. I like to be able to use the language a great deal and carry on rehearsals in French.
dance thinking dancing
I often say that in making dances I can make a world where I think things are done morally, done democratically, done honestly.
art mean thinking
I don't mean this, but I'm going to say it anyway. I don't really think of pop art and serious art as being that far apart.
dance thinking discovery
I think that probably the moments of discovery do come from a place that is not totally organized. Order is something that we already know about. Discoveries are in a place we don't already know about.
thinking complicated-relationship complicated
I think Tolstoy had an unbelievably complicated relationship with women.
music heart thinking
I think of music as fuel, its spectrum of energy governed by tempi, volume, and heart.
creativity thinking structure
I don't think that scheduling is uncreative. I think that structure is required for creativity.
girl dark thinking
I think a sense of humor will help get a girl out of a dark place.
thinking conformity boxes
Before you can think out of the box, you have to start with a box
dance believe thinking
You have to believe there's something at the other side. And you have to have faith in yourself. You have to think that you have the tools to accomplish it.
dance kids thinking
Usually kids who are talented have the brashness to think they can do anything, but they don't often get the chance to see how close they can come.
