Nothing is harder to create than brilliant comic ballets, except maybe brilliant full-evening comic ballets.

Robert Gottlieb

I keep starting supergroups, writing ballets and things like that.

Rhiannon Giddens

There are some ballets you can do for a long time. With others, you have to know when to stop. Some are very destructive. Forsythe's choreography pushes dancers to the extreme. That's why it's best to vary. That way, you break your body a little bit in different places, but not a lot in one place.

Sylvie Guillem

As long as my ballets are danced, I will live.

Rudolf Nureyev

All of the vintage photos of Ballets Russes are so inspiring.

Mary Helen Bowers

I'm trying to create ballets that I would enjoy seeing.

Justin Peck

The ballets you do make you into the final product you are. And I had extraordinary partners.

Patricia McBride

I'm trying to do things I have never done. Like I recently went to 3 different ballets. And I loved trying to learn how to like those a little bit.

Brian Regan

I've always thought of the process of creating ballets as being this kind of team effort. It's not like being a painter, where you have your paint, and you have canvas, and you just go at it. I'm working with these living, breathing, functioning human beings, and they have their own thoughts and ideas about what works well movement-wise.

Justin Peck

Sometimes I feel as if sections of my ballets were done for me - that I didn't do them myself.

Antony Tudor

'The Sleeping Beauty' is the greatest, most challenging and most vulnerable of classical ballets. Everything can go wrong with it, and all too often, everything does.

Robert Gottlieb

The only weapon I had was my dancing. With that I fought like a general without an army. If I could have saved all the energy I wasted on my struggle it would have sufficed me to cover a dozen ballets.

Maya Plisetskaya

Sometimes I feel as if sections of my ballets were done for me - that I didnt do them myself.

Antony Tudor

In the world of classical ballet there are only a handful of story ballets, so getting a new one is cause for excitement.

Karen Kain

I remember that my mother used to take me to see ballets, especially if there were black people in them.

Ntozake Shange

Because all the movies that we tell ourselves we can't make - ballets, westerns, dramas, everything that are the hardest things to make - those are the movies that are not only winning awards which is fantastic, but also those movies that are commercial. We won't see a fascinating season like this for a while.
