Every ballet, whether or not successful artistically or with the public, has given me something important.

He is a male butterfly without the wings - the same kind of grace of a very young horse, so angular.

I don't go to a gym, I don't do yoga. I don't do personal training.

I remember vividly seeing 'Tarzan' and Fred Astaire, the Chaplin films, Fred Astaire musicals, MGM, because of my mother. She was just interested in everything and she took me to opera and ballet, and then ballet got me hooked.

When a body moves, it's the most revealing thing. Dance for me a minute, and I'll tell you who you are.

I found that dance, music, and literature is how I made sense of the world... it pushed me to think of things bigger than lifes daily routines... to think beyond what is immediate or convenient.

I am teaching more. That is what I do best.
