When You Are On Stage You Are

You've Got To Break Through This Idea Of Being Light As A Ballerina. The Heavier You'll Feel, The Lighter You'll Look.

I Know My Body. What Happened Is That I Got So Caught Up In The Applause I Forgot How I Should Dance. All My Life I've Been What Others Wanted - In Dancing And In Life. Now I'm Doing It My Way.

I Embarked On A Risky Course Of Plastic Surgery And Silicone Injections, Major Dental Realignments And Gruesome Medical Procedures. I Pray That Young Dancers, Those Who Imitate Me At Their Peril, Will Avoid This Blind Alley. It Is More Than A Dead End; It Is A Dead Beginning.

When You Are On Stage You Are Having An Affair With Three Thousand People.

The Dance Goes On Forever. So Shall I. So Shall We.
