Dances have a second and third life. You feel they are never ready. They always have a chance for another life.

Every ballet, whether or not successful artistically or with the public, has given me something important.

I would like to go and dance in Palestine one day, with great pleasure, great pleasure.

Just sit and open your eyes and open your heart. It's dance theater.

We lived, until I was 12 or so, in communal apartment with five different families and the same kitchen, in two little - my brother and me and my parents. It was hell, but it was a common thing. My father was not general or admiral, but he was colonel. He was teaching in military academy military topography.

The more injuries you get, the smarter you get.

I do not try to dance better than anyone else. I only try to dance better than myself.
