"Life is neither a glorious highlight reel nor a monstrous tragedy. Every day is a good day to live and a good day to die. Every day is also an apt time to learn and express joy and love for the entire natural world. Each day is an apt time to make contact with other people and express empathy for the entire world. Each day is perfect to accept with indifference all aspects of being."

"There is pain and sacrifice in everyone's world. That's why, when I was dancing, I had no pain."
Sacrifice
"I liked Latin, I like languages, I liked all the myths, and the Roman tales that we were required to translate in Latin, and all these interesting people who were never quite what they thought they would be or seemed to be."
Thought
"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."
Ballet

Work

Politics

Thought

Reality
"But what was my motivation was music, and the fact that I love to move around. I'm always moving around."
Love
"I liked to read but, being a dancer, I didn't have a lot of time to read."
