“Flamenco is flamenco, it is always sorrowful,
you understand? And even love, love is sorrowful
in essence too, and everything is a sorrow and
a joy, you know? I think it depends on how the
person takes and administers it, you know? It’s
like everything, it’s like everything; you must be
born with that feeling, with that knowledge, or
rather with that wisdom in order to understand
and to see things in a certain way and the
difference is that you have to be an artist to
go out and sing on a stage because you have
to have, I don’t know, a kind of respect for the
public, like for the bull... I think flamenco is going
to continue, at least for as long as I live, no? Well
I’m going to be there... when I make a record I
don’t think about what people are going to say,
you know? Because I know that for the time
being they’re not going to understand, they have
some time to understand it but you’re, you’re
never happy with what you do, you always feel
like you could do better, you know? In the long
run, I know that whether it’s bad or good, that’s
it, you know? Flamenco has nothing more than
a kind of school-ethos: to pass on or not to pass
on...”

“Technique certainly plays a role that warrants
much study, but it’s like driving; what you want
to achieve is for technique to become not a
mental act but a reflexive one, so to be able to
express your feelings… I’m never going to give
up in front of my colleagues: when I demand
something of them it’s because they can give it,
I don’t ask more of them than they can give, I’m
even demanding of myself and furthermore, I
think that man, that human beings have to have
the dignity to take full advantage of themselves.
This is not the profession to make you rich, or to
make you better looking or for you to be praised
in, it is a profession in which you represent a
culture and you represent a very fine work, and
whether it’s art or not you’ll see later… and why
people dance is being forgotten; people used to
dance through a state of emotion; because they
were sad, because they were happy, because
they wanted to fight. For that they danced…”
