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

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

No animal ever has an ugly body until it is domesticated. It is the same with the human body.

I am certain that movement never lies. There is only one law of posture I have been able to discover - the perpendicular line connecting heaven and earth.

I want to make people feel intensely alive. I'd rather have them against me than indifferent.

I never thought of myself as being a genius. I don't know what genius is. I think a far better expression is a retriever, a lovely strong golden retriever that brings things back from the past, or retrieves things from our common blood memory
