I cannot stand authority.

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

The Russian people get so insanely close to each other as friends. Their lives are interrelated so much on an everyday basis.

It's weird when you see pieces of choreography that were done for you 15 or 20 years ago and now they are being done by another dance company.

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.

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

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