If I Can't Dance, I Don't Care

In 1980, A Well-meaning Fundraiser Came To See Me And Said, "miss Graham, The Most Powerful Thing You Have Going For You To Raise Money Is Your Respectability." I Wanted To Spit. Respectable! Show Me Any Artist Who Wants To Be Respectable.

I Believe That We Learn By Practice... It Is The Performance Of A Dedicated Precise Set Of Acts, Physical Or Intellectual, From Which Come Shape Of Achievement, A Sense Of One's Being, A Satisfaction Of Spirit.

If You Feel Depressed You Shouldn't Go Out On The Street Because It Will Show On Your Face And You'll Give It To Others. Misery Is A Communicable Disease.

Nobody Cares If You Can't Dance Well. Just Get Up And Dance. Great Dancers Are Great Because Of Their Passion.

Theater Is A Verb Before It Is A Noun, An Act Before It Is A Place.
