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

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.

What people in the world think of you is really none of your business.

I am absorbed in the magic of movement and light. Movement never lies. It is the magic of what I call the outer space of the imagination.

People have asked me why I chose to be a dancer. I did not choose. I was chosen to be a dancer, and with that, you live all your life.

I don't try to tell the dancers exactly what a dance means before they do it.

To me, a building - if it's beautiful - is the love of one man, he's made it out of his love for space, materials, things like that.
