With classical ballet you are literally injuring yourself.

We are used to cleaning the outside house, but the most important house to clean is yourself - your own house - which we never do.

We're destroying the planet, and the planet rebels.

I have a problem with being a hero, but that's another problem.

Most artists create foundations where they put their own work. Here I'm not putting my own work. I'm just creating the chambers.

When I was young, I couldn't think about ballet because I had to focus on my own field. But once you secure your own performance area, you can indulge yourself in different territories. Fashion is one. And ballet is absolutely a fantasy, because it deals with the bodies in a different way.

Through performance, I found the possibility of establishing a dialogue with the audience through an exchange of energy, which tended to transform the energy itself. I could not produce a single work without the presence of the audience, because the audience gave me the energy to be able, through a specific action, to assimilate it and return it, to create a genuine field of energy.
