Art is a form of intelligence, it can be developed, it's linked to intuition and it's something that all humans have

Fear, safety, and conformity make you mediocre and average

The deep art... That's the part that has to be guarded like a miser would his money... Like a dope addict would his dope... Like a lover with their love.

Be IN it. Get drunk in the moment.

What’s interesting about you is you.

Everything in the phenomenal universe is straight line and circle. The horizon, our heads, arms, electrons, the oceans, planets and stars. Their principle function is to radiate. The task of the human being is also to radiate.

Dance training can't be separate from life training. Everything that comes into our lives is training. The qualities we admire in great dancing are the same qualities we admire in human beings: honesty, courage, fearlessness, generosity, wisdom, depth, compassion,and humanity.

The artistic path is a fearless occupation.

The purpose of art is higher than art. What we are really interested in are masterpieces of humanity.
