Dancing is my obsession. My life.

Dancing is my obsession. My life.

Nobody else in the world has a form like the Native American musical, and Americans should be very proud.

Every ballet, whether or not successful artistically or with the public, has given me something important.

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.

Dance is an ephemeral, a fleeting art. To describe this momentum, every movement on stage, in words is virtually impossible.

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