Natalia Makarova Quotations

What I am looking for is a masterpiece. I don't want to waste my time. I am tired of experiments.

All ballet, all reading, all music. That was my world, my inner world,

I prepare myself very intensely. I am at the theatre four hours before the performance. It allows for complete concentration and preparation.

Many people thought I would never succeed, because I am so Russian. So Russian, hundred percent.

People tell me I'm dancing better than ever. I don't know what happened, but I have new enthusiasm and more endurance.

I think often that God is guiding me.

I don't keep my secrets or my knowledge to myself.

It’s hard to find backbone.I never had crisis of identity. But I think many Americans have it.

Being spontaneous, it’s what saved me,

Dance involves physicality, it involves spirituality and even brains.
