I cannot belong to a nonprofit organization because when you receive grants, you have to make such great compromises with your artistic plans.

Be. Good. To yourself, to other people, to everything you do. It's a norm of life by which people should try to live. Don't waste time. Be interesting and interested.

No dancer can watch Fred Astaire and not know that we all should have been in another business.

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

I adored my mother, and I will always have extraordinary memories about her and remember her, and she opened the doors for me to appreciate arts.
