"As you get older you become more understanding. When I was young it was all about me. I was very egocentric. Now it is a pleasure to work with young people who have talent. It is a continuity for me. It is a way to go on...and, I think, a way to grow old."

 (Zizi Jeanmaire, nome d'arte di Renée Marcelle Jeanmaire, ballerina, attrice e cantante; Parigi, 29 aprile 1924 – Ginevra, 17 luglio 2020)
