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.

Your eyes is camera and your brain is a file cabinet.

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?

I am a cloud - in trousers.

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

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

The mirror is not you. The mirror is you looking at yourself.
