Tharp has already been called a number of things: the Busby Berkeley of the '70s, a modern Nijinska, a female Balanchine. She has also been put down as modish, cute, instantly disposable-a Bette Midler of dance. "I just don't think ballet is as narrow as many people do," says Tharp.

I haven't given any importance to the boutade [whim] he said about the cowboy. I thought it was cute, it was arrogant, it portrayed him. But the interview was bad because Kissinger is a very cold man, and he behaved coldly. I was disturbed by his way of receiving...
