What I Do Must Be

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!

I Did Not Want To Be A Tree, A Flower Or A Wave. In A Dancer's Body, We As Audience Must See Ourselves, Not The Imitated Behavior Of Everyday Actions, Not The Phenomenon Of Nature, Not Exotic Creatures From Another Planet, But Something Of The Miracle That Is A Human Being.

Wherever A Dancer Stands Is Holy Ground.

I Am Certain That Movement Never Lies. There Is Only One Law Of Posture I Have Been Able To Discover - The Perpendicular Line Connecting Heaven And Earth.

Our Arms Start From The Back Because They Were Once Wings.
