You can't be pregnant in leotards, and this is the last chance for us to get our bodies into the shape of concert dancers and capture it with the magic of film.

Good-looking people turn me off. Myself included.

I'm not afraid of death. I'm going home.

I keep dreaming of a future, a future with a long and healthy life, not lived in the shadow of cancer but in the light.

One thing I'm not going to do is chase staying alive. You spend so much time chasing staying alive, you won't live.

You can imagine me as a kid growing up in redneck Texas with ballet shoes, tucking the violin under my arm. I had to fight my way up.

The way to screw up somebody's life is to give them what they want.
