I never liked dance photography; it's very flat, and dance photography in the studio looks very contrived.

I don't go to a gym, I don't do yoga. I don't do personal training.

When a body moves, it's the most revealing thing. Dance for me a minute, and I'll tell you who you are.

I do not try to dance better than anyone else. I only try to dance better than myself.

I was not extremely patriotic about Mother Russia. I played their game, pretending. You have to deal with, you know, party people, KGB. Horrifying.

It is time to get drunk! So as not to be the martyred slaves of Time, get drunk; get drunk without stopping! On wine, on poetry, or on virtue, as you wish.

Martyrdom does not end something, it only a beginning.

I have existed before Abraham was born.

Races don't fall in love, genders don't fall in love: Individuals fall in love. We all should be free to marry the person that we love.

Love can make even nice people do awful things.
