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.
From Suzanne Farrell
And I just thought, this is what I want to be. And I knew that dancing would be my chosen profession.
I learned to love dance for its own sake.
On the other hand, I think it is wonderful for everyone to take ballet classes, at any age. It gives you a discipline, it gives you a place to go. It gives you some control in your life.
When you get on stage, you can be anything. You are removed from reality in a way, the real world.
Once I started dancing, I was not the spoiled brat or the rebellious child that I was as a child.
