In today's world, everything seems like some sort of long audition.

Directors are never in short supply of girlfriends.

I thank God that I wasn't born perfect.

She not only kept her lovely figure, she's added so much to it.

Mary Martin was Broadway's biggest closet king. Everyone thought Ethel (Merman) was butch and maybe a lesbian, but she wasn't. And everyone thought that lovely little Mary was Miss Femme, and she was -- except next to her gay husband. In other words, don't judge a star by her cover.

You spend your whole life trying to get known and then you spend the rest of it hiding in the toilet.
thinking ballet feelings
I am not an educated person. I didn't come up through a ballet company. I came up through burlesque. So I have a lot of inferiority feelings concerning my own lack of education, my entry into show business. I'm not a Baryshnikov. I'm not a Nureyev. I came up in vaudeville. Strippers. So I've always had these feelings. But I think they've also helped me.

dance light hands
The energy doesn't end at the hands. I want such intensity that it feels like light is streaming from every finger.

Don't dance for the audience; dance for yourself.

The time to sing is when your emotional level is just too high to speak anymore, and the time to dance is when your emotions are just too strong to only sing about how you feel.
