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

I have spent all my life with dance and being a dancer. It's permitting life to use you in a very intense way. Sometimes it is not pleasant. Sometimes it is fearful. But nevertheless it is inevitable.

Dancers today can do anything; the technique is phenomenal. The passion and the meaning to their movement can be another thing.

There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique.

I did not want to be a tree, a flower or a wave. In a dancer's body, we as audience must see ourselves, not the imitated behavior of everyday actions, not the phenomenon of nature, not exotic creatures from another planet, but something of the miracle that is a human being.

Some men have thousands of reasons why they cannot do what they want to, when all they need is one reason why they can.

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