We're All Where We Come From. We

The Life Of A Dancer Is Tragically Short. What Is Remarkable About The New York City Ballet Is That It Makes Us Forget That. Because It Keeps The Ballet Alive.

I Am The Same Artist With The Same Nagging Questions I Had In My Early 20's. What's Real And What Isn't? How Do We Tell What's Real In Our Lives? How Do We See Things As They Are? What Is My Role In Life? If The Signature Hadn't Forced The Issue By Devoting Its Season To My Plays, I Could At Least Believe I Had Changed. Really, They're All The Same! What Is Six Degrees Of Separation But The House Of Blue Leaves With Money?

I Read Somewhere That Everybody On This Planet Is Separated By Only Six Other People. Six Degrees Of Separation Between Us And Everyone Else On This Planet. The President Of The United States, A Gondolier In Venice, Just Fill In The Names. I Find It Extremely Comforting That We're So Close. I Also Find It Like Chinese Water Torture, That We're So Close Because You Have To Find The Right Six People To Make The Right Connection... I Am Bound, You Are Bound, To Everyone On This Planet By A Trail Of Six People.

You Don't Push The Button That Says "now I Will Write Something That Resonates In Time." You Don't Know. It's What Happens After A Play Is Finished.

I Think Of The New York City Ballet As The Yankees Without George Steinbrenner.
