I Was Very Much Of A Tomboy.

As Soon As I Hear Music, Something In Me Starts To Vibrate.

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.

I Had A Wonderful Childhood, Coming From Cincinnati, And I Think That It Was Great Going Into The Life That I Was Going To Have, Where You Have To Start Young As A Dancer.

I Didn't Care Too Much For Ballet, Because You Had To Be More Disciplined, And You Sort Of Looked Like Everyone Else. It Required A Certain Kind Of Conformity That I Didn't Feel Like I Wanted To Do.

And I Just Thought, This Is What I Want To Be. And I Knew That Dancing Would Be My Chosen Profession.
