I do take class because I still dance, and yes, I do slip into class with the Royal Ballet from time to time.

Young dancers are training at a very vulnerable time in their lives... So train the whole person, not just the dancer.

I enjoy the freedom of modern dance as well as the constraints of classical dance.

Body language is a very powerful tool. We had body language before we had speech, and apparently, 80% of what you understand in a conversation is read through the body, not the words.

It's not about weight, it's about fitness, and one component of being fit is to have relatively low body fat, because fat is not very efficient, whereas muscle is.

It's not magic! It's physics. The speed of the turn is what keeps you upright. It's like a spinning top.

You increase muscle bulk by training against resistance. For example, weights. And in ballet, this isn't the case.

At the moment I'm enjoying a new challenge at the Royal Opera House, but I'm also keen to pursue my interest in television and particularly in science.

People often argue about this. Obviously one of the skills in performance is acting, and you can't expect every Romeo to really be in love with their Juliet!

I've always believed that the facts about dancing are more interesting than the myths, and this was a great chance for me to explore how the human body does such incredible things.

A good dancer is an educated one, so dont abandon school.

A little bit closer to the stars, anything seemed possible.

Create peace in your heart before you can express it in words.

The goal is to make practice more difficult, physically/mentally, than anything your players will face during a game.

This is one of those rare recipes, surprising in its flavors and wonderful in its simplicity -- an out-and-out favorite of mine.

Ridicule dishonors a man more than dishonor does.

I decline all noisy, wordy, confused, and personal controversies.

God of Truth and Justice can never create distinctions of high and low among His own children.

All gamblers are paranoid, though they call it superstition.

The Self is the one thing you can discover, not by travelling miles, but by being very still inside your own being and saying to the Supreme, Yes, absorb me.

Never underestimate your own capacity to care.
