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.

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.

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

Because we are in the world, we are condemned to meaning, and we cannot do or say anything without its acquiring a name in history.

If I don't see a music video to it while writing it, I just scrap it immediately. It's very visual.

When you’re doing work you care about, you are able to work harder and better.

Can omniscient God, who Knows the future, find The omnipotence to Change His future mind?
