One Is Born To Be

Ballet Will Speak For Itself. About Itself.

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.

Why Are You Stingy With Yourselves? Why Are You Holding Back? What Are You Saving For - For Another Time? There Are No Other Times. There Is Only Now. Right Now.

Someone Once Said That Dancers Work Just As Hard As Policeman, Always Alert, Always Tense. But I Don't Agree With That Because Policeman Don't Have To Look Beautiful At The Same Time.

In My Ballets, Woman Is First. Men Are Consorts. God Made Men To Sing The Praises Of Women. They Are Not Equal To Men: They Are Better.
