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.

In the end, it all comes down to the art of breathing.

Dance is communication, and so the great challenge is to speak clearly, beautifully and with inevitability.

Dancers have more bones than most people and on the days when you work hard you are sure that you have somehow accumulated more bones than you started with.

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

The unique must be fulfilled.

Dance is the hidden langauge of the soul, of the body.
