The first year I was in New York, I met Martha Graham. She said, 'Well, Mr. Wilson, what do you want to do in life?' I was 21 years old, and I said, 'I have no idea.' And she said, 'If you work long enough and hard enough, you'll find something.'

I start any work the same way. I start a rehearsal with silence.

If you see the sunset, does it have to mean something? If you hear the birds singing does it have to have a message?

My work is formal, not based on psychology.

My work should be seen as poetry.

What was very interesting to me about Clementine Hunter's work is that she couldn't read or write, and she has recorded history of the plantation life and the southern part of the U.S. - the cotton harvests, pecan picking, washing clothes, funerals, marriages - in pictures.

If you slow things down, you notice things you hadn't seen before.

Increasingly, I find myself drawn to classic forms - to Euripides, Shakespeare and grand opera.

My work has always dealt with a kind of space that allows one to daydream.
