Dancers aren't made of their technique, but their passion.

We can't stand silence, because silence induces thinking. And if we thought, we would have to face ourselves.

Many other women have kicked higher, balanced longer, or turned faster. These are poor substitutes for passion.

No white man uses his feet the way an Indian does. He talks to the earth.

Living is a form of not being sure, not know what next or how... The artists never entirely knows.

One of the good things about my having some recognition is that I can do something for the people I think ought to have more and correct some of the matters fate fails to take care of.

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