Although I don't gamble in life - I've never played poker - I do gamble on stage. I gamble with myself: 'Can I do this?'

I was very restless. I really wanted to be a part of a kind of a progressive society. I was fed up with these Communist doctrines and you were hassled all the time with members of the Party committee who were KGB, what you have to do, where in the West you can go or not to go.

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 dancer can watch Fred Astaire and not know that we all should have been in another business.

I was never like, "collect, collect," like people who go to auctions. I never spent a serious amount of time because I don't have any time!

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

It doesn't matter how high you lift your leg. The technique is about transparency, simplicity, making an earnest attempt.
