I Loved The Stage Not Because It

The Particular Ballet Was Not So Important As The Fact That I Was Physically Healthy, And Capable Of Getting Out There And Dancing As Often As Possible.

I Was Very Happy That I Was As Normal As Possible Before I Went Into Serious Dance.

So Dancing Was Not Something I Had A Great Desire To Do.

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.

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.
