Peter Martins quotes
-
“...I loved to dance in studios, but not necessarily on stage. What I loved was to sweat and to feel every single pore open up”
-- Peter Martins -
“Ballet is pure and demands that you serve something larger than yourself, whether it be beauty or art, or a combination of both. It requires discipline, taking care of yourself, taking care of your own body first. Then it allows you to give of that beauty, the beauty that you acquire by sculpting your own body all your life.”
-- Peter Martins
