Mindless habitual behavior is the enemy of innovation.

The goal of winning is not losing two times in a row.

When you fail at something, the best thing to do is think back to your successes, and try to replicate whatever you did to make them happen.

I didn't come out and roll from job to job - my first year was really tough. I had to work as a teaching assistant for an agency; I ran a pancake stall in Dulwich Market. I taught drama classes and ran my own workshops. I applied for every advert on Gumtree there possibly was.

When the opportunity to choreograph came up, it was nothing more in my head but an opportunity. Then it suddenly became a career very quickly.

There is an idea that at some point in your career, you 'make it.' I understand the theory of 'making it.' I don't exactly think that it's the best way to look at it.

I got a lot of notoriety early on. Much of my career I was just trying to prove I was as good as the world thought I was.
