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

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.

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

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

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

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.

Dance in the body you have.
