Dancing is a tough career, but I'm glad I spent it at the Royal Ballet.

I still love to see the ballet. And I love to boogie.

Sometimes I feel as if sections of my ballets were done for me - that I didn't do them myself.

I never went to a ballet until I was 45 years old. I don't know why.

I've always been excited by the strangeness of ballet, but I can't bear it when people just come forward and do a turn in the air for no reason.

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.

I had to quit ballet because it felt like a part of me was dying inside.

I hated the ballet, but I liked performing. I did 20 shows, and I couldn't get the smile off my face.
