- I was a principal dancer with different companies. I had a wonderful time with it. The scenario of the dance world at the time was that grants were drying up, ballet companies were going under, and at the same time the Russians were starting to flood the market, who are far superior in their technical training than American dancers. So jobs became hard to keep, pay was going down instead of up and although I had a job and I was happy, it's a very hard lifestyle, and I kind of just . . . somehow, changed occupations!
- [on her family] Do they know what I do? Yes. Do we discuss it over dinner? No. They stand behind me, they love me and support me 100%.
