You take a plug and put it in a socket, and that's what the theatre is-it lights up right away. You speak, and they respond immediately.
I love to laugh, I love the joy of life, and I love sharing it.
The spirit of dance is an amazing thing. When the body and the spirit meet, it's a good thing.
Many of the shows I danced in don't exist on film, but they do exist in the memories of those who were in the theater for that single moment in time. And nothing can replace that.
I am young in my energy because I really still believe that we can share who we are, and we can wipe off on each other. I see this huge tapestry when we're born, and this red blob that's your soul or your heart.
Theatre is immediate gratification
I love the theater because the theater is alive. The audience is right there.
I'm bugged because I can't believe I can't speak every language there is. But I feel I can when I sit and am with somebody, and I can dance for them. Because dance is dialogue without language.
It's communication - that's what theatre is all about.
My neighborhood was a great neighborhood; it was filled with all sorts of ethnic groups and things. So I grew up thinking I was a human being.
Mother loved dance so much that she thought (ballerina) Margot Fonteyn should be the president.
Looking back doesn't have to be painful.
I love life. I love the live theater.
For some of us, the Gypsy years can go on forever ... That isn't such a bad thing. When all is said and done, they're a lot of fun. The truth is, I liked being a Gypsy. It's who I was. And it's still a lot of who I am. Gypsy, it's a good word.
It's important that the kids stay busy. It's important that they have something to focus on, and something that they feel good about.
I'm not comfortable with just me, me, me. That's boring.
I have a blessed life. I really do. I have a great family, a great daughter, I love life, I love living, I love people. I love all the blessings that God's given me.
A lot of Americans like happy endings, but life does not necessarily have a happy ending.
I have always loved a challenge.
I was busy welcoming a new experience. I had never done a movie before.
Somebody told me once I wasn't Latin enough, and that made me laugh
I never like the way I look. I don't. I never look at myself.
American audiences are affected by what the English people think.
I do believe that separation can be a bit damaging at times. To be happy about yourself and your culture and all of that is necessary and fulfilling, but the whole tapestry is what's important.
Beauty is not everything!
