I believe that my whole creative life stemmed from this magic hour under the stars on that hilltop.

I want to dance always, to be good and not evil, and when it is all over not to have the feeling that I might have done better.

The real message of the Dance opens up the vistas of life to all who have the urge to express beauty with no other instrument than their own bodies, with no apparatus and no dependence on anything other than space.

I have the financial morals of a goldfish, I can resist everything but temptation.

I have lived so long because in those moments when I am dancing, I am beyond time and space.

I see dance being used as communication between body and soul, to express what it too deep to find for words.

It was then that my religious consciousness emerged to flower years afterward into definite forms of religious dancing in which there is no sense of division between spirit and flesh, religion and art.
