I think comedy is the most difficult thing in the world, I really do.

At the time I started in ballet they were dancing 'The Spirit of Champagne' on pointe, in Paris. I thought, 'I don't want to dance the spirit of champagne, I want to drink it!

In a dancer, there is a reverence for such forgotten things as the miracle of the small beautiful bones and their delicate strength.

We are all of us, unique - each a unique pattern of creativity and if we do not fulfill it, it is lost for all time.

Think of the magic of that foot, comparatively small, upon which your whole weight rests. It's a miracle, and the dance is a celebration of that miracle.

The gesture is the thing truly expressive of the individual - as we think so will we act.

Theater is a verb before it is a noun, an act before it is a place.
