You can't stop what comes into a country, you can be influenced, but you can't stop it, you shouldn't, because it makes all the others interesting, we all get muddled up together, and produce something that belongs to everyone.

And then you have the classical ballerinas, they're like sopranos. Applied to the dance.

You never advance without losing something en passant... you lose it because you're paying so much attention to the new thing.

No no, we ALL teach each other, whether it's dancing, whether it's singing, whether it's talking, we all listen to each other. That's progress.

Hardly any generation wants to take the whole of the last generation, it just wants to take its best bits.

There's nothing in the world that isn't good, bad, and indifferent.

Nearly everything in life goes in threes and fours.
