Once when I danced on television there was no script for me. They told me, 'you know, just dance.' Well, you don't 'just dance.'

There are more real dancers now. It used to be that they would dub in the taps and obscure the lack of technique with long camera shots.

One thing I liked about living in London was the smaller portions they serve. They eat more often but less at a time.

I am five feet four and I felt great at 96 pounds. When I was dancing I was so light I enjoyed it. Although I was told that I was too thin, I paid no attention to anyone. Then I found out that I had lost a role I wanted very much because the producer preferred an actress with more curves.

Once you are accustomed to giving your body a daily workout, you feel constrained when you don't exercise.

Good posture takes inches off my waist. I have a feeling of lifting my rib cage off my hip bones, of flattening the space between my navel and my backbone. If you stand sideways in front of a long mirror you can see how eliminating a slump gives a more youthful line to your body.
