If you don't feel challenged, it's because you're not doing enough. Ballet should never feel comfortable. Comfortable is lazy! If you're comfortable when you dance, you're not pushing yourself hard enough. 100 % is not enough. You have to give 200%. One tendu takes years of hard work and will never be perfect. Everything in ballet is a challenge.

In my ballets, woman is first. Men are consorts. God made men to sing the praises of women. They are not equal to men: They are better.

I have no literary approach - except to literature.

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

I am a cloud - in trousers.

See the music, hear the dance.

My muse must come to me on union time.
