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

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.

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

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.

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

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

I think often that God is guiding me.
