Technical things are getting more mechanical. Take 'Swan Lake,' the Black Swan pas de deux. Now, my goodness, they're turning not just 32 fouettes - but double or triple pirouettes.

I travel like a gypsy, and I didn't know how I could perform and be a mother.

You cannot dance an arabesque in 'Swan Lake' and 'Nutcracker' the same way.

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

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

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

Even the ears must dance.
