|  In my ballets, woman is first. Men are consorts. God made men to sing the praises of women. They are not equal to men: They are better. | | God creates, I do not create. I assemble and I steal everywhere to do it - from what I see, from what the dancers can do, from what others do. | | Most ballet teachers in the United States are terrible. If they were in medicine, everyone would be poisoned. | | In ballet a complicated story is impossible to tell... we can't dance synonyms. | | The ballet is a purely female thing; it is a woman, a garden of beautiful flowers, and man is the gardener. | | One is born to be a great dancer. |
