Dance in the body you have.

Who am I?, the artist asks. And he devotes his whole life to finding out.

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

I learned three important things in college-to use a library, to memorize quickly and visually, to drop asleep at any time given a horizontal surface and fifteen minutes. What I could not learn was to think creatively on schedule.

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.

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

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