You cannot be happy with your family while being personally unhappy with your work. It's a Catch-22 kind of thing.

You invest into the future, and that's how young people become human in best sense of it - through the great experience of listening a Müller symphony or to see a great play by Tennessee Williams, experience something in a ballet, in a film.

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 very restless. I really wanted to be a part of a kind of a progressive society. I was fed up with these Communist doctrines and you were hassled all the time with members of the Party committee who were KGB, what you have to do, where in the West you can go or not to go.

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

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

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