I used to trip over my legs and get detention for my too-short shorts because none fit. I still trip, but now I like to show them off.

My parents were ballet dancers, and I did a lot of ballet, too, so I think I learned quite early on how to hold my body. Although I do recall desperately wishing I was shorter at school.

I danced a lot when I was younger, and I've always had decent, shapely legs and thought it's now or never. I mean, when you're pushing 40, are you really going to wander around in a dress that's midthigh length?

Ballet is good, because it makes you stand up tall.

I have good legs, so I prefer my skirt lengths and my high heels. It's like my uniform.

Apparently, I have good feet for ballet.

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

A dancer's career is short - you just keep going until your legs pack up.
