I studied the way I danced- to the point of dropping.

To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking.

When I dance I am really meditating rather then performing for an audience. I am completely absorbed by the music and the steps I choose to respond to the music.

Theater people are always pining and agonizing because they're afraid that they'll be forgotten. And in America they're quite right. They will be.

Modern dancers give a sinister portent about our times.

Friends die one by one, but so, thank God, do enemies.

Toe dancing is a dandy attention getter, second only to screaming.
