One Is Born To Be A Great

I Cannot Move, I Cannot Even Want To Move, Unless I Hear The Music First.

It's Like The Time Capsule With Everything In It. Or Like The Seed That When You Plant It, Becomes The Enormous Tree With Leaves And Fruit. Everybody Was In That Little Seed, And So Everything Can Open. The Tree Of Dance Is Like That. It Just Takes A Long, Long Time To Blossom.

I Don't Have A Past. I Have A Continuous Present. The Past Is Part Of The Present, Just As The Future Is. We Exist In Time.

I Can Always Invent Movement, And Sometimes It Can Be Fitted Into The Right Place, But That Is Not Choreography. It Is The Music That Dictates The Whole Shape Of The Work. I Do Not Believe In The Permanence Of Anything In Ballet Save The Purely Classical.

The Pointes For Girls, I Always Say, Have To Be Like An Elephant's Trunk; Strong And Yet Flexible And Soft.
