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

I think especially in a world where you have so little say about what goes on in your life, or in the politics of the world around you, it is wonderful to go into that studio, and tell yourself what to do.

I had two sisters, and we would love to get dressed up and pretend that we were chic, sophisticated ladies. And I think that was a great sort of preparation, in a way.

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

After I stopped dancing, I was unable to listen to beautiful music.

I think it was important that I learned to love to dance eventually for its own sake, as opposed to wanting to be a ballerina.

You're never more of an individual than when you're a happy team player.
