Now there is in a way a renaissance of modern dance - suddenly, it is more respected and discovered.

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.

If your only dance experience is the Nutcracker, it will be a shock; hopefully shocking in a good way.

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.

Nothing is ever too expensive if it furthers the repertoire and artistic standards of a dance company.

In '74 it was really a very gloomy atmosphere, I would say, to put it mildly.

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