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!

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

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

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

The only critic is a full house.

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

We danced with one body, one soul... For me, Margot is my family. She is all I have, only her.
