Obviously, the young dancers lack a certain air of maturity.

I gave away a lot of works for benefits and then people would also give me back.

What do dancers think of Fred Astaire? It's no secret. We hate him. He gives us a complex because he's too perfect. His perfection is an absurdity. It's too hard to face.

I don't drink milk, and I don't eat bread, pasta or rice. But I eat a lot of meat, chicken, fish and salads.

I was not extremely patriotic about Mother Russia. I played their game, pretending. You have to deal with, you know, party people, KGB. Horrifying.

If your only dance experience is the Nutcracker, it will be a shock; hopefully shocking in a good way.

Dancers are stripped enough onstage. You don't have to know more about them than they've given you already.
