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.

No trumpets sound when the important decisions of our life are made. Destiny is made known silently.

Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.

A good education is usually harmful to a dancer. A good calf is better than a good head.

Dance constitutes a true recapturing of... freedom and childish play.

There is something fearfully strengthening about cutting free even if the ties bandage the heart itself.

Modern dancers give a sinister portent about our times.
