Master technique and then forget about it and be natural.

Play the last measure very softly.

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.

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

If I could have said it, I shouldn't have had to dance it.

Where there is no heart there is no art.

Dancing is my gift and my life... God gave me this gift to bring delight to others. I am haunted by the need to dance. It is the purest expression of every emotion, earthly and spiritual. It is happiness.
