If I'm not in shape, it feels like something is wrong. If I haven't been able to get to class for a while or I've been sick, I don't feel complete. It doesn't feel like the electricity is making its connections.

I was not influenced by concerts as a child, but I was very strongly influenced by the ballets I saw.

Shakespeare feels very natural to me.

I've never danced professionally as a ballet dancer, but all of my training is ballet, and I am a Fosse dancer.

I am just a plain Jew; I mean have no training.

One of the things that's great about doing a show over and over again... is that you have to find ways to make it spontaneous, as though everything is happening for the first time... to continue to mine the material and find new things.

People are at their happiest if they are true to themselves. I think that applies to their chosen profession, friends and relationships. It goes for your health too. If you are true to yourself, it seems to me everything should work out pretty well.
