Every Dance Is A Kind Of Fever

At The Time I Started In Ballet They Were Dancing 'the Spirit Of Champagne' On Pointe, In Paris. I Thought, 'i Don't Want To Dance The Spirit Of Champagne, I Want To Drink It!

A Dancer, More Than Any Other Human Being, Dies Two Deaths: The First, The Physical When The Powerfully Trained Body Will No Longer Respond As You Would Wish. After All, I Choreographed For Myself. I Never Choreographed What I Could Not Do. I Changed Steps In Medea And Other Ballets To Accommodate The Change. But I Knew. And It Haunted Me. I Only Wanted To Dance.

What People In The World Think Of You Is Really None Of Your Business.

The Reason Dance Has Held Such An Ageless Magic For The World Is That It Has Been The Symbol Of The Performance Of Living.

No Artist Is Ahead Of His Time. He Is His Time; It Is Just That Others Are Behind The Times.
