I am still on stage. If you read Press...you would believe that I should be gone. But here I am doing it and DOING IT WELL!

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

I’m really alive when I’m on stage.

Technique is what you fall back on when you run out of inspiration.

What is art? It is not just nature, it is nurtured nature. It is intelligence applied to what physical ability you have.

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

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