All ballet, all reading, all music. That was my world, my inner world.

Even the ears must dance.

You cannot dance an arabesque in 'Swan Lake' and 'Nutcracker' the same way.

Technical things are getting more mechanical. Take 'Swan Lake,' the Black Swan pas de deux. Now, my goodness, they're turning not just 32 fouettes - but double or triple pirouettes.

A real ballerina must fill her space with her own personality.

The expression should come from within oneself, conveying the spiritual - something between earth and heaven. And if one runs, one should not seem to touch the ground.

To look back all the time is boring. Excitement lies in tomorrow.

It's not possible to be perfect - you can always do something better. I'm never proud of what I've done. Sometimes, I'm not ashamed.

I recently learn a new word: insatiable. That's me.

It is the body, subject to the harmony of the steps it is executing, which speaks. And it speaks to the heart in as direct a language as does music.

Dance involves physicality, it involves spirituality and even brains.

Familiarity breeds contempt and children.

What God says about you is what matters, than what others may think of you.

What people respond to in my room makeovers is the daring design - fearless colors, bold fabrics and occasionally outlandish decor.

The only reason I got into stand-up was because my brother told me to. I had no idea what I was going to do with my life. I was 17 and my brother went to a comedy club and he said - you can do that.

Did Brother Zachariah just steal our cat?

The charges are false and despicable. I have not received a fair hearing. This is un-American. All the lawyering will provoke an untoward outcome.

It seems like there's never enough famous white people among comic in Hollywood.

When a man makes a woman his wife it's the highest compliment he can pay her – and usually it's the last.

I really hope that what we are doing inspires young Mexican girls not to be afraid to get involved in sports.

Only a burning patience will lead to the attainment of a splendid happiness.
