I Learned To Love Dance

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 Think Especially In A World Where You Have So Little Say About What Goes On In Your Life, Or In The Politics Of The World Around You, It Is Wonderful To Go Into That Studio, And Tell Yourself What To Do.

Once I Started Dancing, I Was Not The Spoiled Brat Or The Rebellious Child That I Was As A Child.

Fifth Positions, Heads, Musicality, Energy. Not Technical Things So Much-getting Your Leg Higher Or Doing More Turns But Things That Would Set You Apart From Other Dancers. The Only Way You Can Be Different Is To Be Yourself If You Don't Find Your Spirit And Reveal It, You Just Look Like Every Other Dancer.

I Didn't Have Any Doubts About My Choice Of Career, But I Had Constant Doubts About My Ability, Yes.
