#ballet

I went to the Performing Arts School and studied classical ballet. That attitude is something that's put into your head. You are never thin enough. ↗

The particular ballet was not so important as the fact that I was physically healthy, and capable of getting out there and dancing as often as possible. ↗

At the ballet, you really feel like you're in the presence of something outside the rest of your life. Higher than the rest of your life. ↗

Everything seems to be going faster and faster. It's really harder to create something that endures. The New York City Ballet has succeeded in doing that. ↗

I deliberately made an effort not to become an expert on the ballet. ↗

I like new ballets because they're totally new. As you get older, new experiences are harder and harder to come by, so it's pretty great to have a new experience. ↗

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

The ballet embodies the notes of music. And sometimes you almost feel like you can see the notes dance up there on the stage. ↗

The first year with ABT I learned 13 new roles. Most were lengthy ballets, more complicated than I was used to. I have suffered from tendinitis since I was 13, and it flared up again until the pain was paralyzing. There were times I prayed I'd be sick so I wouldn't have to go on. ↗

A lot of people insisted on a wall between modern dance and ballet. I'm beginning to think that walls are very unhealthy things. ↗
