I did not choose to be a dancer. I was chosen.

Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.

I'd rather an audience like me than dislike me, but I'd rather they disliked me than be apathetic, because that is the kiss of death.

We are all of us, unique - each a unique pattern of creativity and if we do not fulfill it, it is lost for all time.

I never thought of myself as being a genius. I don't know what genius is. I think a far better expression is a retriever, a lovely strong golden retriever that brings things back from the past, or retrieves things from our common blood memory

We learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. One becomes in some area an athlete of God.

I believe that we learn by practice.
