"I didn't care too much for ballet, because you had to be more disciplined, and you sort of looked like everyone else. It required a certain kind of conformity that I didn't feel like I wanted to do."


"The particular ballet was not so important as the fact that I was physically healthy, and capable of getting out there and dancing as often as possible."


"And I just thought, this is what I want to be. And I knew that dancing would be my chosen profession."


"But what was my motivation was music, and the fact that I love to move around. I'm always moving around."


"When you are on stage, you don't see faces. The lights are in your eyes and you see just this black void out in front of you. And yet you know there is life out there, and you have to get your message across."


"That the work involved, the willingness to take chances, the commitment, the opportunity to get on stage and make people happy, was more important than becoming famous, or even what I was dancing."


"On the other hand, I think it is wonderful for everyone to take ballet classes, at any age. It gives you a discipline, it gives you a place to go. It gives you some control in your life."
