I think a woman who is successful is critiqued more harshly than a man is critiqued.

I don't want to work with someone who's nervous, I want to work with someone who is fearless

I think, though, the biggest heroes in my life would have been both my mother and father. My father because he was very brave and a kid from the Depression. And my mother, a child from the Depression too, who always remained so lovely her whole life.

I know a lot of choreographers prefer to do abstract dance and not be bothered with a story, but even when I'm asked to do classical ballet or a modern piece, I still want to tell a story.

I would love to direct a play. But I think when people look at me they see music and dancing and singing.

I'm really happy when I'm immersed in the art of it all - immersed in the music, the dance, the visual. Tapping into joy - it saves you.
