The art of Mime encompasses all the feelings of the soul. The Dance, on the other hand, is essentially an expression of joy, a desire to follow the rhythms of the music.

It is not so much upon the number of exercises, as the care with which they are done, that progreses and skill depend.

The height of artistic skill is to know how to conceal the mechanical effort and strain beneath harmonious calm.

The beautiful always retains the freshness of novelty, while the astonishing soon grow tiresome.

It is a fine art because it strives for an ideal, not only in plastic but also in lyrical respect.

The beauty to which the Dance ought to aspire is not dependent upon taste or pleasure, but is founded on the immutable laws of Nature.

Joy is a strength; intoxication, a weakness.

The Dance is an art because it demands vocation, knowledge, and ability.

The beauty to which the Dance ought to aspire

My past thoughts created today's me.

Corruption is never compulsory.

I had a really bad temper, when I was growing up. Sport helped me channel that temper into more positive acts.

Imagination tends to be truly useful if accompanied by the power of mental control - if the worlds in one's head can be purposefully manipulated and distinguished from the real one outside it.

Playing show after show is like my bread and butter.

What is the most innocent place in any country? Is it not the insane asylum? These people drift through life truly innocent, unable to see into themselves at all.

I will miss the Batman. I like to think that he'll miss me, but he's never been particularly sentimental.

We all have spirits present with us who are feeling the way we are.

I cry very easily. It can be a movie, a phone conversation, a sunset - tears are words waiting to be written.

My brain, I believe, is the most beautiful part of my body.
