  • Amazing!!! I have the oportunity of meet her in Miami and I love her!!! Thaks for this wonderfull intervew!!!! and for post it!

  • I'm a mechanic, why I'm I here watching Twyla, she fascinates me. Her philosophy and experience are invaluable to everyone.

  • I really like this interview but I don't like how the camera is always moving.

  • I love Twyla Tharp, but I am also impressed with Norma's questions. Has anybody noticed that she asks good questions?

  • Nice video, someone from 60 minutes needs to interview her. Amazing woman.

  • j'adore<3

  • They made a mistake. if she writes her own biography, it's called an AUTO-biography. C'mon, people! Who writes this stuff anyway?!

  • @silkfeltsoil shes trying but yeah i got that about her too!!!

  • twyla is sharp and incisive as usual. love her. xoxoxo kamali, on the other hand! sweet, but...her questions are so vague and uncertain; she's completely out of her depth. it's interesting to see twyla's response-- she stays focused and respectful, but you can see that she's miles ahead of her interviewer. (and kamali had no idea twyla grew up in a drive-in? that means she didn't read push comes to shove or any of her books, for that matter.) sigh.

  • thanks for every thing bro
