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

The particular ballet was not so important as the fact that I was physically healthy, and capable of getting out there and dancing as often as possible.

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.

Good theater should always send people away feeling changed.

When you are on stage, you don't see faces. The lights are in your eyes and you see just this black void out in front of you. And yet you know there is life out there, and you have to get your message across.

Of course, in the art class, I was the model.

I used to love to play dress-up, where you get your mother's or your grandmother's dresses and high heels.
