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.

I loved tests because it was another form of competing, a healthy competition.

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

On the other hand, I think it is wonderful for everyone to take ballet classes, at any age. It gives you a discipline, it gives you a place to go. It gives you some control in your life.

I was very much of a tomboy.

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

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.
