If I can not dance, I shall die!
Get my swan costume ready.
Dancing is my gift and my life... God gave me this gift to bring delight to others. I am haunted by the need to dance. It is the purest expression of every emotion, earthly and spiritual. It is happiness.
Master technique and then forget about it and be natural.
Play the last measure very softly.
Although one may fail to find happiness in theatrical life, one never wishes to give it up after having once tasted its fruits.
