The Spine Is The Tree Of Life.

It Takes Ten Years, Usually, To Make A Dancer. It Takes Ten Years Of Handling The Instrument, Handling The Material With Which You Are Dealing, For You To Know It Completely.

I've Relaxed My Feelings About Other Companies Performing My Works. I Have Never In Principle Been Against My Ballets Being Danced By Other Companies. Rather, It Is That We Lack The Time, Space And Money To Insure That They Are Done Well. To Me, The Only Sin Is Mediocrity.

Pity Is A Corroding Thing.

The Next Time You Look Into The Mirror, Just Look At The Way The Ears Rest Next To The Head; Look At The Way The Hairline Grows; Think Of All The Little Bones In Your Wrist. It Is A Miracle. And The Dance Is A Celebration Of That Miracle.

Great Dancers Are Not Great Because Of Their Technique, They Are Great Because Of Their Passion.
