A real ballerina must fill her space with her own personality.

Even the ears must dance.

You cannot dance an arabesque in 'Swan Lake' and 'Nutcracker' the same way.

Technical things are getting more mechanical. Take 'Swan Lake,' the Black Swan pas de deux. Now, my goodness, they're turning not just 32 fouettes - but double or triple pirouettes.

The expression should come from within oneself, conveying the spiritual - something between earth and heaven. And if one runs, one should not seem to touch the ground.

To look back all the time is boring. Excitement lies in tomorrow.

It's not possible to be perfect - you can always do something better. I'm never proud of what I've done. Sometimes, I'm not ashamed.

It is the body, subject to the harmony of the steps it is executing, which speaks. And it speaks to the heart in as direct a language as does music.

Dance involves physicality, it involves spirituality and even brains.

Being spontaneous, it's what saved me.

Survival...is an infinite capacity for suspicion.

His name, even, is part of the marketing scheme, I mean, Thelonious Sphere Monk - how can you think of a better name to fit his style of playing?

When there are no clouds in the sky, under the beautiful sunshine, remember the rain and repair your umbrella!

He who would teach men to die would teach them to live.

Those who have invested the most are the last to surrender.
