I am not the first straight dancer or the last.

I have been very lucky to work in so many new ballets, but that is what a dancer's work is.

Dance is one of the most revealing art forms.

I don't drink milk, and I don't eat bread, pasta or rice. But I eat a lot of meat, chicken, fish and salads.

I think I got disappointed over the years about New York, about the States. You know, sometimes you go and visit Europe and see good old socialism in its good part! You see public concern about art, and young people's participation and young faces in the audience.
