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.

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

The more injuries you get, the smarter you get.

Divinity of art, it's such a mystery. How to convince people that no matter how much money you can spend on education and art education especially, that it implants, it directs a young person for the rest of their lives, and always in the most humane and positive and dignified manner.

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.

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

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.
