Being young isn't about age, it's about being a free spirit. You can meet someone of 20 who's boring and old, or you can meet someone of 70 who's youthful and exciting. I met Fred Astaire when he was 72 and I was 21, and I fell in love with him. He certainly was a free spirit.
I always favor the hero and heroine from whichever book I've completed most recently. Yes, I'm faithless and fickle!
My dad's always had an unbelievable, positive attitude about everything.
There is nothing greater than enthusiasm.
The eyes of some of the fans at Davis Cup matches scare me. There's no light in them. Fixed emotions. Blind worship. Horror. It makes me think of what happened to us long ago.

A young dog's faith is absolute... Dogs are notorious for hope. Dogs believe that this morning, this very morning, may begin a day of fascination, easily grander than any day in the past.
Passionately obsessed by anything we love - an avalanche of magic flattens the way ahead, levels, rules, reasons, dissents, bears us with it over chasms, fears, doubts. Without the power of that love.
Youth smiles without any reason. It is one of its chiefest charms.
The most essential factor is persistence - the determination never to allow your energy or enthusiasm to be dampened by the discouragement that must inevitably come.
I love to watch people not care too much about the choreography, or if they sing perfectly, or if the right label people are there to watch them. It's just about letting go and being crazy and engaging people in dance and madness - being a human instead of a doll.
We all want to be 20 again and have that first sense of love.
My audiences who love me don't mind me dancing with two left feet.
[My mom] is someone who just has boundless energy. I think she's about 84 years young right now.
I wanted to do something about a really optimistic character: a character who was so optimistic, no one could burst her bubble.
