I liked Latin, I like languages, I liked all the myths, and the Roman tales that we were required to translate in Latin, and all these interesting people who were never quite what they thought they would be or seemed to be.

I was very happy that I was as normal as possible before I went into serious dance.

I liked tap, because I liked hearing the results of my movements.

I could work out a lot of my emotions by going to class and dancing.

The body can do amazing things in a situation when it is really called for.

I had a wonderful childhood, coming from Cincinnati, and I think that it was great going into the life that I was going to have, where you have to start young as a dancer.

So dancing was not something I had a great desire to do.
