I think often that God is guiding me.

Even the ears must dance.

You cannot dance an arabesque in 'Swan Lake' and 'Nutcracker' the same way.

Technical things are getting more mechanical. Take 'Swan Lake,' the Black Swan pas de deux. Now, my goodness, they're turning not just 32 fouettes - but double or triple pirouettes.

A real ballerina must fill her space with her own personality.

The expression should come from within oneself, conveying the spiritual - something between earth and heaven. And if one runs, one should not seem to touch the ground.

To look back all the time is boring. Excitement lies in tomorrow.

It's not possible to be perfect - you can always do something better. I'm never proud of what I've done. Sometimes, I'm not ashamed.

I recently learn a new word: insatiable. That's me.

It is the body, subject to the harmony of the steps it is executing, which speaks. And it speaks to the heart in as direct a language as does music.

Dance involves physicality, it involves spirituality and even brains.

Wanting to be someone else is a waste of who you are

I write flawed characters. Ones that do not always make the best decisions and are driven by ambition or lust. They are not black or white, they are in the large space that exists between.

Las Vegas turns women into men and men into idiots.

I don't surround myself with anybody, really. I have friends, but I'm kind of an isolationist now. I kind of work on my own.

Detroit was really fun, FYI, in case anybody wants to go to Detroit. I love it. I did.

No one is perfect but without honesty you've got nothing.

Tightly held by rocks Through winter, the ice today Begins to come undone: A way-seeker also is the water, Melting, murmuring from the moss.

Without justification salvation is not of grace, but of works.
