It's a hard life... but if I could, I would do it all again.

It’s hard to find backbone.I never had crisis of identity. But I think many Americans have it.

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

Dance involves physicality, it involves spirituality and even brains.

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.

People tell me I'm dancing better than ever. I don't know what happened, but I have new enthusiasm and more endurance.

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