Suzanne Farrell American Quotations

When you are on stage, you don't see faces. The lights are in your eyes and you see just this black void out in front of you. And yet you know there is life out there, and you have to get your message across.

It brought out in me the person whom I had the potential to become. I think that's why I loved it for its own sake, not to be a ballerina.

And I think it was important that I learned to love to dance eventually for its own sake, as opposed to wanting to be a ballerina.
