Dancing is just discovery, discovery, discovery - what it all means, the way the little bone near the ankle relates itself to the floor for a perfect stance, a perfect plie.

I'm asked so often whether I believe in life after death. I do believe in the sanctity of life, the continuity of life and of energy. I know the anonymity of death has no appeal for me. It is the now that I must face and want to face.

I believe one thing: that today is yesterday and tomorrow is today and you can't stop.

When you start with an idea, or something hits you, then you have to follow that through to the end, and it's the following through to the end that makes the pattern. That, for me, is choreography.

Repetition not for monotony but the ecstasy it induces.

Movement never lies. It is a barometer telling the state of the soul's weather to all who can read it.

The world I'm interested in is the one where things are not named.
