Self Quotes

If you’re up there [on stage] thinking about what you’re doing, you’re just not there and it’s not going to happen.So trying to learn how to overcome those – which is a normal thing to do. You’re in front of a lot of people. People are going to get very self-conscious. So you have to learn to sort of overcome that tendency towards self-consciousness and just blow it wide open. And you jump in and join all those people that are out there enjoying what you’re doing together.

Work creates an enormous sense of self and I saw that in my mother. She was an enormous, towering figure to me in the best possible way.

So, in other words, they’re paying me to show them, in combative form, the art of expressing the human body.

I’m moving and not moving at all. I’m like the moon underneath the waves that ever go on rolling and rocking.
