Dancing Is My Obsession. My Life.

My Father Was A Party Member And He Was A Pretty High Rank Military Officer Under The Colonel, Junior Colonel, I Don't Know The Term. He Was A Total Stalinist. A Bit With A Streak Of Anti-semitism And Very Shrewd Man, A Very Kind Of Nervous Man.

Just Sit And Open Your Eyes And Open Your Heart. It's Dance Theater.

Dances Have A Second And Third Life. You Feel They Are Never Ready. They Always Have A Chance For Another Life.

I Was Not Extremely Patriotic About Mother Russia. I Played Their Game, Pretending. You Have To Deal With, You Know, Party People, Kgb. Horrifying.

I Really Reject That Kind Of Comparison That Says, Oh, He Is The Best. This Is The Second Best. There Is No Such Thing.
