Our arms start from the back because they were once wings.

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.

If I can't dance, I don't care if my dances are ever done again!

Sometimes it's blood memory... not the blood your mother and father gave you... but that which stretches back two or three thousand years.

It's not my job to look beautiful. It's my job to look interesting.

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

My childhood years were a balance of dark and light.
