I really reject that kind of comparison that says, Oh, he is the best. This is the second best. There is no such thing.

I read Russian literature a lot.

I want to see people dance, and I would like to guess what kind of people they are. I don't want to know the recipe for their pasta.

Although I don't gamble in life - I've never played poker - I do gamble on stage. I gamble with myself: 'Can I do this?'

Obviously, the young dancers lack a certain air of maturity.

I was never like, "collect, collect," like people who go to auctions. I never spent a serious amount of time because I don't have any time!

I cannot belong to a nonprofit organization because when you receive grants, you have to make such great compromises with your artistic plans.
