"When a dancer comes onstage, he is not just a blank slate that the choreographer has written on. Â Behind him he has all the decisions he has made in life Each time, he has chosen, and in what he is onstage, you see the result of those choices. Â You are looking at the person he is, and the person who, at this point, he cannot help but be Â Exceptional dancers, in my experience, are also exceptional people, people with an attitude toward life, a kind of quest, and an internal quality. Â They know who they are, and they show this to you, willingly."
