american-dancer aware life react wonderful
The wonderful thing about life it that there will always be variables. You have to see them and be aware of them to know how to react to them.
american-dancer brought loved potential whom
It brought out in me the person whom I had the potential to become. I think that's why I loved it for its own sake, not to be a ballerina.
ballets counting difficult easy involved liked
I liked math. Counting was easy for me, which was good, because a lot of the ballets have involved difficult counts.
butter switch
If you use butter or margarine now, just switch over to one of these sterol-fortified spreads.
humdrum stage curtains
I loved the stage not because it provided an escape from myself or my humdrum life but because when the curtain went up I could be whoever I wanted to be, and that was true freedom - to be myself.
somewhere-else ungrateful wish
It's ungrateful to be wishing you were doing something else at the moment you are living. You haven't lived in the moment that you are really living, you are wishing you were somewhere else.
errors giving credit
You don't learn from a situation where you do something well. You enjoy it and you give yourself credit, but you don't really learn from that. You learn from trial and error, trial and error, all the time.
american-dancer eyes front life lights message void
When you are on stage, you don't see faces. The lights are in your eyes and you see just this black void out in front of you. And yet you know there is life out there, and you have to get your message across.
ballets chance extreme
I like dramatic ballets, particularly if they're ballets in which I have a chance to go from one extreme of style or characterization to another.
