You're Never More Of An

The Arts Are The Hospitals For Our Souls.

I Didn't Care Too Much For Ballet, Because You Had To Be More Disciplined, And You Sort Of Looked Like Everyone Else. It Required A Certain Kind Of Conformity That I Didn't Feel Like I Wanted To Do.

I Set As My Goal To Be The Best Dancer I Could Be. Not The Most Famous, Or The Highest Paid Dancer, Just The Best I Could Be. Out Of This Discipline Came Great Freedom And Calm.

I Was Very Happy That I Was As Normal As Possible Before I Went Into Serious Dance.

I Had A Wonderful Childhood, Coming From Cincinnati, And I Think That It Was Great Going Into The Life That I Was Going To Have, Where You Have To Start Young As A Dancer.
