No composer has yet caught this rhythm of America - it is too mighty for the ears of most.

I hope that schools have changed since I was a little girl. My memory of the teaching of the public schools is that it showed the brutal incomprehension of children.

I was born by the sea, and I have noticed that all the great events of my life have taken place by the sea. My first idea of movement, of the dance, certainly came from the rhythm of the waves.

To awaken human emotion is the highest level of art.

I have discovered the dance. I have discovered the art which has been lost for two thousand years

Any woman or man who would write the truth of their lives would write a great work. But no one has dared to write the truth of their lives.

My motto - sans limites.
