Susan Jaffe quotes
-
“People tend to look at dancers like we are these little jewels, little cardboard cut outs, and yet we have blood and guts and go through Hell.”
-- Susan Jaffe -
“I remember going to him (Richard England) and saying, “You know, how come you don't give me any parts?†I did Raymonda and a couple of other nice parts, but mostly he was giving a lot of parts to the other girls. He said, “Those girls are short and they're not going to get into ABT, but I think you are going to get into ABT. I think you're going dance later, so I'm not worried about you.—
-- Susan Jaffe
