Gelsey Kirkland Quotes

The dance goes on forever. So shall I. So shall we Picture Quote #1
At this stage of my life I would rather try and have some small impact within a company and suffer through those things than make such a big stink that nobody can trust to work with you. It’s very important in an environment of a big institution that people don’t feel threatened that you’re going to expose them in any way Picture Quote #1
You’ve got to break through this idea of being light as a ballerina. The heavier you’ll feel, the lighter you’ll look Picture Quote #1
Often, when you’ve reached a very high level of achievement, you almost become paralyzed by the idea that anything you might do might be imperfect. Perfection is just the striving, the effort, the struggle, but it’s hard to remember that Picture Quote #1
As soon as you become afraid to make a fool of yourself, you’re in trouble. I decided I may as well just see if I can live with myself making millions of mistakes and learn something from it Picture Quote #1
I embarked on a risky course of plastic surgery and silicone injections, major dental realignments and gruesome medical procedures. I pray that young dancers, those who imitate me at their peril, will avoid this blind alley. It is more than a dead end; it is a dead beginning Picture Quote #1

There was a stage when Balanchine and I didn’t talk. I was trying to develop my classical technique as opposed to the fast-track technique that he was pushing. We were very quiet with each other. But after two years he saw what I was doing and sent messages through other people that, yes, this is good Picture Quote #1
The first year with ABT I learned 13 new roles. Most were lengthy ballets, more complicated than I was used to. I have suffered from tendinitis since I was 13, and it flared up again until the pain was paralyzing. There were times I prayed I’d be sick so I wouldn’t have to go on Picture Quote #1
Ballet is a riddle of means and ends Picture Quote #1
... each action taken in this world has its echo in the heart Picture Quote #1
When you are on stage you are having an affair with three thousand people Picture Quote #1
I danced with passion to spite the music Picture Quote #1

In saying my prayers, I discovered the voice of an innermost self, the raw nerve of my identity Picture Quote #1
As unnatural as dancing is, you have to find a natural way to do the unnatural Picture Quote #1
At this stage of my life I would rather try and have some small impact within a company and suffer through those things than make such a big stink that nobody can trust to work with you.

You’ve got to break through this idea of being light as a ballerina. The heavier you’ll feel, the lighter you’ll look Picture Quote #1
The voices of moral authority in the theatre demanded only punctuality and physical performance. In the light of continuing pressure and stress, the occasional lip service paid to moderation was meaningless. Starvation and poisoning were not excesses, but measures taken to stay within the norm Picture Quote #1

Fortunately for children, the uncertainties of the present always give way to the enchanted possibilities of the future Picture Quote #1
The nature of my compulsion was such that I danced in my sleep. The entire household was sometimes awakened by loud thumping sounds coming from my room Picture Quote #1
