“I am a very complicated person.”

Stage and film are just two wildly different animals. Why compare the two?

Certainly the life of a dancer is very difficult. The training is very hard and relentlessly grueling.

That was the aura of Cheers: It was special. It was more than TV; you could get people to guest on the show you couldn’t normally get.

If I’m not in shape, it feels like something is wrong. If I haven’t been able to get to class for a while or I’ve been sick.

I have the greatest picture of Ted [Danson]. That was a big caper,

I really loved Kelsey [Grammer]. It wasn’t a romantic love, but there was something about him. It’s very difficult to see someone you care about having a hard time.

The musical stuff I’d go up for was always funny, sexy, tough-as-nails, heart-of-gold characters.

On the rare occasions I go to the gym, I prefer silence.

When I was born, they put casts on my legs ’cause I had some kind of dysplasia or something. My legs were all messed up.

I don’t see myself as a diva at all.

I don’t see my dancing or acting as two separate things. I don’t define them separately, so I can’t say one has helped the other, It’s all the same thing.

More than anything I love being on stage and performing

I’ve never danced professionally as a ballet dancer, but all of my training is ballet, and I am a Fosse dancer.

Creating a role is an interesting thing – each show or each situation is different.

Artists need to express.

I think that applies to their chosen profession, friends and relationships. It goes for your health too. If you are true to yourself, it seems to me everything should work out pretty well

The marvellous instinct with which women are usually credited seems too often to desert them on the only occasions when it would be of any real use. One would say it was there for trivialities only

Parents are often at fault, but the kids have some work to do, too.

When you win, you often lose, that’s just a fact. There’s no currency to straighten a warped spirit, or open a closed heart, a selfish heart.

Failure knocks the door of the unprepared minds very often.

Philosophy, to be relevant, must offer us a wisdom to live by.

We often use technology to save time, but increasingly, it either takes the saved time along with it, or makes the saved time less present, intimate and rich. I worry that the closer the world gets to our fingertips, the further it gets from our hearts.

More often than not, we cater to the public perception.

The fate that condemns or saves one sooner or later often condemns or saves another.
