What brought me to the theater, no matter you're a Jew or a Russian or Armenian or Latvian, are suddenly illuminated by stage light and one beautiful image of dance.

To achieve some depth in your field requires a lot of sacrifices. Want to or not, you're thinking about what you're doing in life-in my case, dancing.

My mother had a son from previous marriage and her husband died in Second World War.

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!

Acting is not my language at all.

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

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.
