You don't pick dance. Dance picks you.

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.

The body is a sacred garment.

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

In a dancer, there is a reverence for such forgotten things as the miracle of the small beautiful bones and their delicate strength.

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

Wherever a dancer stands is holy ground.
