I wanted to do new things with dance, adapt it to the motion picture medium.

Things danced on the screen do not look the way they do on the stage. On the stage, dancing is three-dimensional, but a motion picture is two-dimensional.

The director is the channel through which a motion picture reaches the screen.

A dream is a still picture until you put it in motion and it becomes reality.

I sincerely hope that I shall always be a credit to my race, and to the motion picture industry.

I look at the camera as sort of a missing link between motion picture photography and still photography.
