Dancers, many dancers today can do so much technically. You can give them steps that are complicated, then more complicated, pyrotechnical - and they can execute these steps to perfection. But to do simple steps with a pure classical line, that is truly difficult.

All of the very important events in my life happen by chance.

I recently learn a new word: insatiable. That's me.

A real ballerina must fill her space with her own personality.

I was born to be a ballerina - my physique, my spirit, my feeling for music. What I am can only be expressed in dance. I am an erotic woman and that's what dance is.

To look back all the time is boring. Excitement lies in tomorrow.

I think often that God is guiding me.
