I'm inspired by breath, by the human body - by so many things.
What I need is to express my passion for life... It's movement I'm interested in, the life in me, the life in humanity.
There is inspiration all around us.
Wherever you look there are inspirations, books, literature, paintings, landscapes, everything. Just living is an inspiration.
The secret of life was Breath. That was what I always wanted my words to do, to Breathe.
So much inspires me. People living their lives with courage, beauty of all kinds, nature in all its aspects, people I love and people I hardly know, and, of course, other poets.
In life, as in art, the beautiful moves in curves.
Every artist is an artist, and every heartbeat is a heartbeat.
I dance because I have to, because I'm so passionate about it.
I get inspiration from a lot of things around me - nature, hills, people, and even insects.
Beauty can inspire miracles.
The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. It is the source of all true art and science. He who knows it not and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle.
He gave life to the breath- oxygen, a simple gas, he transferred into words, ideas, hope.
Science is no more than an investigation of a miracle we can never explain, and art is an interpretation of that miracle.
Without dance, a man can do nothing.
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
Truly to sing, that is a different breath.
Life is a lot more interesting if you are interested in the people and the places around you. So, illuminate your little patch of ground, the people that you know, the things that you want to commemorate. Light them up with your art, with your music, with your writing, with whatever it is that you do.
If I see a great performance on television, onstage, in the movies, I go to work the next day with a renewed energy and less fear. These great artists take me out of my life and make me want to go there.
Designis a revelation to me. It's like taking something that is not alive and giving it form, shape, substance, and life.
Think of the magic of that foot, comparatively small, upon which your whole weight rests. It's a miracle, and the dance is a celebration of that miracle.
I think the foundation of everything in my life is wonder.
Our time here is magic! It's the only space you have to realize whatever it is that is beautiful, whatever is true, whatever is great, whatever is potential, whatever is rare, whatever is unique, in. It's the only space.
The human body has two ends on it: one to create with and one to sit on. Sometimes people get their ends reversed. When this happens they need a kick in the seat of the pants.
How does a person feel when looking at the sky? He thinks that he doesn't have enough tongues to describe what he sees. Nevertheless, people have never stopping describing the sky, simply listing what they see.
I was brought up feeling that art is a very important part of one's life. It's something that I not only enjoy, it's something I can share with others.
