Technique is what you fall back on when you run out of inspiration. - Rudolf Nureyev

The main thing is dancing, and before it withers away from my body, I will keep dancing till the last moment, the last drop.

I would be ready to take over tomorrow. But first of all, all fat and lazy members of the troupe would have to be thrown out.

I think dancers are paid not for what they do, but for the fear they feel. What you do is probably not that difficult: you just get on stage. It is, however, fear that gives you the push.
