I get speeding ticket like everybody else. If the restaurant is full I'm waiting in line like everybody else.

I have some Russian friends. But probably only 10 percent. I don't hang out usually in the big Russian communities in Brooklyn and New Jersey.

The more injuries you get, the smarter you get.

You cannot dance physically certain things. But look at tango dancers or flamenco or Japanese classical theater. You can, if you're smart enough and you collaborate with the right choreographers, you could really dance your age.

I am not the first straight dancer or the last.

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?'

The problem is not making up the steps but deciding which ones to keep.
