See the music, hear the dance.

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

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.

The pointes for girls, I always say, have to be like an elephant's trunk; strong and yet flexible and soft.

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.

My muse must come to me on union time.

The ballet is a purely female thing; it is a woman, a garden of beautiful flowers, and man is the gardener.
