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

You live as long as you 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.

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

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

I approach dancing from a different angle than those who begin dancing at 8 or 9. Those who have studied from the beginning never question anything.
