If our ballets be feeble, monotonous and dull, if they be devoid of ideas, meaning, expression and character, it is less the fault of the art than that of the artist.
Aren't all ballets sexy? I think they should be. I can think of nothing more kinky than a prince chasing a swan around all night.
I'm a classical ballet dancer, and at the end of the day I want to be with American Ballet Theater, performing classical ballets.

Because all the movies that we tell ourselves we can't make - ballets, westerns, dramas, everything that are the hardest things to make - those are the movies that are not only winning awards which is fantastic, but also those movies that are commercial.
