Being spontaneous, it's what saved me.

Because my profession is the body, it is a relaxation for me to get out of physicality and concentrate on more mental things.

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

I want to be free... free to develop my art.

It is the body, subject to the harmony of the steps it is executing, which speaks. And it speaks to the heart in as direct a language as does music.

I think often that God is guiding me.

All ballet, all reading, all music. That was my world, my inner world.
