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.

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.
