Acting is not my language at all.
I was not extremely patriotic about Mother Russia. I played their game, pretending. You have to deal with, you know, party people, KGB. Horrifying.
Obviously, the young dancers lack a certain air of maturity.
The more injuries you get, the smarter you get.
I have been very lucky to work in so many new ballets, but that is what a dancer's work is.
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?'
