People come to see beauty, and I dance to give it to them.

Every dancer lives on the threshold of chucking it.

I haven't had a family, but I don't think of that as a sacrifice: my dancers are my family.

Excellence is the name of the game.

I felt the naivete of a child in my dancing. I cherished that feeling. I had what I call a knowledgeable naivete, and it worked for me.

Dance is not endangered - it will always find a way to express itself.

Dance is about never-ending aspiration.
