I really think that aside from admiring my talent you really admire me as a person and as a woman.

When you have faith in something, it’s your reason to be alive and to fight for it.

So many dancers paint. I used to paint. I started again recently. While I was dancing, I was very busy with my career. Start something else that makes use of your creative ability because if you don't you will die inside as a person.

I certainly feel my career was a great career because it inspired so many many people, literally hundreds of people to follow a new kind of life and to realize that they could make out and advance their own professional and private and social lives.

If you dance, you dance because you have to. Every dancer hurts, you know.

I always believed that if you set out to be successful, then you already were.

A creative person has to create. It doesn't really matter what you create. If such a dancer wanted to go out and build the cactus gardens where he could, in Mexico, let him do that, but something that is creative has to go on.
