What I Am Interested In Doing Is

Art Is Not Necessary At All. All That Is Necessary To Make This World A Better Place To Live In Is To Love - To Love As Christ Loved, As Buddha Loved.

I Have Only Danced My Life. As A Child I Danced The Spontaneous Joy Of Growing Things. As An Adolescent, I Danced With Joy Turning To Apprehension Of The First Realisation Of Tragic Undercurrents; Apprehension Of The Pitiless Brutality And Crushing Progress Of Life.

To Express What Is The Most Moral, Healthful And Beautiful In Art This Is The Mission Of The Dancer, And To This I Dedicate My Life.

Before I Was Born My Mother Was In Great Agony Of Spirit And In A Tragic Situation. She Could Take No Food Except Iced Oysters And Champagne. If People Ask Me When I Began To Dance, I Reply 'in My Mother's Womb, Probably As A Result Of The Oysters And Champagne.'

The Dancer's Body Is Simply The Luminous Manifestation Of Her Soul...this Is The Truly Creative Dancer, Natural But Not Imitative, Speaking In Movement Out Of Herself And Out Of Something Greater Than All Selves.
