Although we do come from a silent profession, it is important for us to verbalize what we want to say. (As I tell my students): you could love someone all your life, but if you never say it how are they going to know? There comes a point when you have to say what you mean, which makes you scream louder when you dance.

I'm thought of as a cool, unemotional dancer, but inside I'm not.

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

Good theater should always send people away feeling changed.

Dancers are a great breed of people. And they really want to dance so you don't have to beg them to work. However, dancers sometimes build walls around themselves because they are presenting themselves all the time: dancing is very much a confession.

I liked to read but, being a dancer, I didn't have a lot of time to read.

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