I never thought of myself as being a genius. I don't know what genius is. I think a far better expression is a retriever, a lovely strong golden retriever that brings things back from the past, or retrieves things from our common blood memory

Nobody cares if you can't dance well.

Martha Graham 161 quotes

The body is your instrument in...

The body is your instrument in dance, but your art is outside that creature, the body. I don't leap and jump anymore. I look at young dancers, and I am envious, more aware of what glories the body contains. But sensitivity is not made dull by age.

Martha Graham 161 quotes

America does not concern itself now with Impressionism. We own no involved philosophy. The psyche of the land is to be found in its movement. It is to be felt as a dramatic force of energy and vitality. We move; we do not stand still. We have not yet arrived at the stock-taking stage.

In 1980, a well-meaning fundraiser came to see me and said, 'Miss Graham, the most powerful thing you have going for you to raise money is your respectability.' I wanted to spit. Respectable! Show me any artist who wants to be respectable.
