Certainly the life of a dancer is very difficult. The training is very hard and relentlessly grueling.

One of the things that's great about doing a show over and over again... is that you have to find ways to make it spontaneous, as though everything is happening for the first time... to continue to mine the material and find new things.

People are at their happiest if they are true to themselves. I think that applies to their chosen profession, friends and relationships. It goes for your health too. If you are true to yourself, it seems to me everything should work out pretty well

I'm not a performer who will come on stage and tell you everything about my life. It's just not who I am.

I was not influenced by concerts as a child, but I was very strongly influenced by the ballets I saw.

That was the aura of Cheers: It was special. It was more than TV; you could get people to guest on the show you couldn't normally get.

You have to be aware. Like, I'm not going to do any downhill skiing. It looks like a whole lot of fun, but I'm not going to risk breaking a leg. I want to be dancing the way I'm dancing now for 30 more years.
