I cannot belong to a nonprofit organization because when you receive grants, you have to make such great compromises with your artistic plans.

Nothing is ever too expensive if it furthers the repertoire and artistic standards of a dance company.

The body cannot lie. You cannot be somebody else onstage, no matter how good of an actor or dancer or singer you are. When you open your arms, move your finger, the audience knows who you are, you know.

Your body actually reminds you about your age and your injuries - the body has a stronger memory than your mind.

I would like to go and dance in Palestine one day, with great pleasure, great pleasure.

You see, dancers are quite mature people because they start performing so early. They become professionals when they start to take everyday classes.
