  2. “I’ll tell you a funny story - Ed [Edward Watson, principal dancer] and I were recently in Japan doing advance prep for the company tour we’ll do there this summer. I was sitting in an interview room pretty much from 10 till 8 every day. One photographer came in, and I was standing there, he looked at me - and he ran out. Then he suddenly came back in, said, sorry he thought I was a doll!”

  4. “But I remember once someone said to her (Margot Fonteyn), don’t you think it is too much - and they were talking about me - the way she lifts the legs like this. And she said, ‘Well, if I could have done it, I would have done it.’ (Laughs) And it was quite… pleasant to hear it from her. Because most of the time people talk for others, they were talking in a way for Margot, saying it should be like this because Margot did it like this. But maybe she herself is not thinking like that.”

    - Sylvie Guillem
