To tend, unfailingly, unflinchingly, towards a goal, is the secret of success.

A true artist should have no secrets. On the stage, you must be able to transmit every emotion to the spectator.

Whenever I have had a sudden urge to quit dancing, I just remember that moment I had when I was young and remember that dancing is what I want to do.

Where there is no heart there is no art.

To follow without halt, one aim; there is the secret of success. And success? What is it? I do not find it in the applause of the theater; it lies rather in the satisfaction of accomplishment.

I danced from the moment I could stand.

Success depends in a very large measure upon individual initiative and exertion, and cannot be achieved except by a dint of hard work.
