I Arrived In Hollywood Twenty Pounds Overweight

I Miss The Romance. I Keep Saying This Over And Over Again, But Dance Follows Music. And If The Accent Today Is Percussion And Rhythm And Loudness, Then That Is The Way The Dance Numbers Will Be. But It Is Pretty Hard On Romance With Seven Guitars, Three Drums, And No Melody Instruments In The Band.

I Arrived In Hollywood Twenty Pounds Overweight And As Strong As An Ox. But If I Put On A White Tails And Tux Like Fred Astaire, I Still Looked Like A Truck Driver.

I Wanted To Do New Things With Dance, Adapt It To The Motion Picture Medium.

I Saw Mikhail Baryshnikov Do Twyla Tharp's Sinatra Suite On Pbs. I Have No Numbers To Prove It, But I Bet That Kids Who Saw That Loved It. I Think You Will See Younger Dancers, Who Certainly Have The Artistic Sense And Capabilities, Start Going Back To Romantic Numbers.

I Didn't Want To Be A Dancer... I Just Did It To Work My Way Through College. But I Was Always An Athlete And Gymnast, So It Came Naturally.
