The arts are the hospitals for our souls.

As soon as I hear music, something in me starts to vibrate.

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.

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.

Once I started dancing, I was not the spoiled brat or the rebellious child that I was as a child.

Good theater should always send people away feeling changed.

And I just thought, this is what I want to be. And I knew that dancing would be my chosen profession.
