I never liked dance photography; it's very flat, and dance photography in the studio looks very contrived.

My mother had a son from previous marriage and her husband died in Second World War.

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

I read Russian literature a lot.

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

Nobody else in the world has a form like the Native American musical, and Americans should be very proud.

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.
