I don't think immortality is necessarily the key to understanding the world. You have to be careful with what you think you're achieving. I'm all for science discovering amazing and fantastic things about our world but I think the motivations behind it are slightly askew.

Science is one of a handful of things that defines us as a very special species. It is amazing how far we have been able to get and how accurate our predictions are. I think understanding how the universe was born is very important. It really gives us a perspective on many things.

Choreography is amazing. I'm still a dancer yet I transitioned into choreography then as a Creative Director. All of these creative elements are brought out of being a dancer. Directing is something that comes out of understanding movement and choreography. Directing movement is directing a dance piece.

If you love dance and you have the gift of teaching teaching is super amazing and important because my teachers planted that seed in me. As a teacher you understand the difference or the definition of a Baryshnikov or a Gregory Hines so teaching is really important and very necessary.

I'd do pretty much anything to get back on stage. I'd like to develop a new musical. I nearly had a heart attack when I heard that they're developing John Waters' Cry-Baby because that is so amazing and super and wonderful and I wish that I could be involved. But it's not the right time and I understand that. But I hear things like that and I get that little tingle in my stomach.

The right really dominates radio and it's amazing how much energy the right spends telling us that the press is slanted to the left when it really isn't. They want to shut other people up. They really don't understand the First Amendment.

There are a lot of people with a lot of money and I'm amazed they don't understand what a great pleasure it can be to give.

I don't understand the Democrats' approach to Social Security in this country and I'm not alone.

You have to understand the tone of the movie because if it's supposed to be funny it can be funny violent like the Home Alone stuff but you have to really understand the tone of what you're doing and make the action work for that and for the character.

I understand and get when kids and teenagers feel like they're alone and it's not going to get better. My advice is that there is a support system out there there are a lot of people who have been through what you're going through and are going through it now.

I learned why 'out riding alone' is an oxymoron: An equestrian is never alone is always sensing the other being the mysterious but also understandable living being that is the horse.

I would hope that understanding and reconciliation are not limited to the 19th hole alone.

Yes I will bring the understanding of a woman to the Court but I doubt that alone will affect my decisions.

Can anyone understand how it is to have lived in the White House and then suddenly to be living alone as the President's widow?

True thoughts are those alone which do not understand themselves.

For what Harley Street specialist has time to understand the body let alone the mind or both in combination when he is a slave to thirteen thousand a year?

The law was made for one thing alone for the exploitation of those who don't understand it or are prevented by naked misery from obeying it.

The two operations of our understanding intuition and deduction on which alone we have said we must rely in the acquisition of knowledge.

I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught all the world would be wise since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning understanding patience love openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable.

I've also seen that great men are often lonely. This is understandable because they have built such high standards for themselves that they often feel alone. But that same loneliness is part of their ability to create.
