Dancers Are The Messengers Of The Gods.

The Body Is A Sacred Garment. It's Your First And Last Garment; It Is What You Enter Life In And What You Depart Life With, And It Should Be Treated With Honor.

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.

To Me, A Building - If It's Beautiful - Is The Love Of One Man, He's Made It Out Of His Love For Space, Materials, Things Like That.

There Is Fatigue So Great That The Body Cries, Even In Its Sleep.
