I used to dance when I was younger - ballet and modern dance.

I want to feel good, I want to feel proud, I want to feel that I give someone enough and that I get enough.

And you must dare to do as many things as you dream of.

I'd also like to do a play. I've never done theater, and constantly changing and refining a performance is something I'd like to do, even though it may sound like work to some people - and it probably is work.

Even though things happen by accident, you also unconsciously choose things that help you.

I live for being with the people I love and to live as happily as possible.

It's true what people say - that actors are the closest thing there is to children. They play.

It should be only a part of my life, but it isn't. I have only one thing: my work.

Having children is what a woman is born for, really.

To be successful for a moment because of one movie doesn't mean anything.

It's so great to love somebody and, out of that, to make a child. So that's my goal.

You can learn so much from children, and you can give them so much.

Not that I want everything right now; but I do want everything.

I love oldies just kind of sweet, slinky, Fifties music. The slow stuff. And Billie Holiday.

I used to dance when I was younger - ballet and modern dance.

Water is always a support or a healing thing apart from, you know, love or peace of mind.

Water for me is so essential, like swimming.

I wish I played an instrument, but I could never decide which one, and I ended up playing nothing.

But when it really happens I'm very fascinated, I'm waiting for the moment, because the moment where life abandons you and death steps in, that moment must be fantastic, no?

I have these visions of myself being thirty, thirty-five, forty having a family.

My parents found what I was interested in and encouraged me. They didn't put me in front of a television and buy lots of toys, the way some American parents do.

You play a part, and as soon as a movie is over and the camera stops, you go home and you're not really responsible for what you've done.

Actors, after all, dream.

I always have the feeling in these low states that something good is about to happen. That's when I feel the fullest, the rawest, the closest to myself.

I love men who make me laugh.

The years go so fast. I mean, I just realized that at the end of the year I will be twenty-two, and I just turned twenty-one.

I wish I had had a great disappointment, a real one.

It's pleasant and bothersome and embarrassing all at once. Especially when you haven't done much and are a celebrity.

I want to do movies but not talk about them.

Dance is very, very old. With Louis XIV at Versailles is where ballet started.

I wanted to be a ballet teacher.

Classical ballet will never die.

I've got no plans to be a ballet dancer at the moment.

When life takes me on a new journey, I simply remember the smile my first ballet recital put on my face and I move forward.

Ballet is sort of a mystery to me. And I don't want to unravel that mystery.

The moment the curtain rose on that first ballet, I knew something wonderful and new had come into my life. I can still see the first scene. The ballet was Divertimento No. 15.

My grandmother had a Miss Margaret's School of Dance to teach tap and ballet to kids, but I never studied it. I was raised a Mormon and they're dancing fools. It's the only vice they have - dancing.

The real beauty of it - key to my life was playing key chords on a banjo. For somebody else it may be a golf club that mom and dad put in their hands or a baseball or ballet lessons. Real gift to give to me and put it in writing.

My background is somewhat unusual, as I trained to be a ballet dancer. I worked in the theatre for eight or nine years as a contemporary dancer. But as an actor one does read Shakespeare and does try to learn the classics.

However, the moral center of New York City, I believe, is the New York City Ballet.

I have ballet class every other day for two hours. And for "Six Feet Under", last week there was a sequence where I had to do a whole choreographed dance number, so I had four hours of dance practice every day.

I do take class because I still dance, and yes, I do slip into class with the Royal Ballet from time to time.

And it is always Easter Sunday at the New York City Ballet. It is always coming back to life. Not even coming back to life - it lives in the constant present.

It's no good running a pig farm badly for 30 years while saying, 'Really, I was meant to be a ballet dancer.' By then, pigs will be your style.

For 24 hours a day, for 10 years, all I thought about was being in a band. That's all I did. I had no other social life. I don't want my life to be like that now. I've spent the past 10 years having a real life as well. But Spandau Ballet is such a difficult shadow to outrun.

When other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers I kind of wanted to be a vampire.

The New York City Ballet is always about the realm of possibilities, the realm of what the human body can do, what the human spirit can do. And it's about listening, it's about listening to remarkable music and how we respond to that.

I used to dance when I was younger - ballet and modern dance.

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.
