The main thing is dancing, and before it withers away from my body, I will keep dancing till the last moment, the last drop.

Of course I have a personal life.

I really have to dance more often, and so I travel around. If I don't, I will crumble.

There was simply from this quite early age the awareness that the only thing I wanted was to dance.

When I miss class for one day, I know it. When I miss class for two days, my teacher knows it. When I miss class for three days, the audience knows it.

As long as my ballets are danced, I will live.

A pas de deux is a dialogue of love. How can there be conversation if one partner is dumb?
