What brought me to the theater, no matter you're a Jew or a Russian or Armenian or Latvian, are suddenly illuminated by stage light and one beautiful image of dance.

I am not the first straight dancer or the last.

Dancers are stripped enough onstage. You don't have to know more about them than they've given you already.

I kind of lost interest in the classical dance. I was very much interested in the modern choreography.

I gave away a lot of works for benefits and then people would also give me back.

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.

To achieve some depth in your field requires a lot of sacrifices.
