I don't have a past. I have a continuous present. The past is part of the present, just as the future is. We exist in time.

I've got more energy now than when I was younger because I know exactly what I want to do.

I cannot move, I cannot even want to move, unless I hear the music first.

I could never make a ballet by wrinkling my brow and concentrating. If you set out deliberately to make a masterpiece, how will you ever get it finished?

Choreography is simpler than you think. Just go and do, and don't think so much about it. Just make something interesting.

What are you waiting for? What are you saving for? Now is all there is.

God creates, I do not create. I assemble and I steal everywhere to do it - from what I see, from what the dancers can do, from what others do.
