All My Lovers Have Been

Any Woman Or Man Who Would Write The Truth Of Their Lives Would Write A Great Work. But No One Has Dared To Write The Truth Of Their Lives.

My Art Is Just An Effort To Express The Truth Of My Being In Gesture And Movement. It Has Taken Me Long Years To Find Even One Absolutely True Movement.

I Would Rather Live In Russia On Black Bread And Vodka Than In The United States At The Best Hotels. America Knows Nothing Of Food, Love Or Art.

I Have Only Danced My Life. As A Child I Danced The Spontaneous Joy Of Growing Things. As An Adolescent, I Danced With Joy Turning To Apprehension Of The First Realisation Of Tragic Undercurrents; Apprehension Of The Pitiless Brutality And Crushing Progress Of Life.

It Is The Mission Of All Art To Express The Highest And Most Beautiful Ideals Of Man.
