I have been very lucky to work in so many new ballets, but that is what a dancer's work is.

I go a lot to see young people downtown in little theaters. It's great. If you start somebody's career, it's so exciting.

No one is born a dancer. You have to want it more than anything.

I like to go to anybody else's birthday, and if I'm invited I'm a good guest. But I never celebrate my birthdays. I really don't care.

I think art education, especially in this country, which government pretty much ignores, is so important for young people.

You cannot be happy with your family while being personally unhappy with your work. It's a Catch-22 kind of thing.

What people will do to get away from boredom!
