I have no literary approach - except to literature.

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

The choreographer and the dancer must remember
that they reach the audience through the eye.
It's the illusion created which convinces the audience,
much as it is with the work of a magician.

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.

Music must be seen, and dance must be heard

Most ballet teachers in the United States are terrible. If they were in medicine, everyone would be poisoned.

Dancers are instruments, like a piano the choreographer plays.
