I like the most provocative and most surprising partnerships on stage. Intensity and surprise.

I want to do exactly what I want to do. I'd rather gamble on the box office than beg for a grant.

I was not extremely patriotic about Mother Russia. I played their game, pretending. You have to deal with, you know, party people, KGB. Horrifying.

You cannot dance physically certain things. But look at tango dancers or flamenco or Japanese classical theater. You can, if you're smart enough and you collaborate with the right choreographers, you could really dance your age.

A theater is such a revealing form of art, such a transparent and good actors, they're such powerful individuals. I always kind of dreamt that one day I will open my mouth on stage.

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

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