I Fell In Love With New York. It Was Like Every Human Being, Like Any Relationship. When I Was A Young New Yorker, It Was One City. When I Was A Grown Man, It Was Another City. I Worked With Many Dance Organizations And Many Wonderful People. In The '90s, It Became Kind Of A Hard And Unwelcoming City In Many Ways. It Became Conservative, Like The Whole Country.

I Was Very Restless. I Really Wanted To Be A Part Of A Kind Of A Progressive Society. I Was Fed Up With These Communist Doctrines And You Were Hassled All The Time With Members Of The Party Committee Who Were Kgb, What You Have To Do, Where In The West You Can Go Or Not To Go.
