“My years of ballet and jazz dance lessons didn't make me any more grac...” — Toni Tennille Quote

“My years of ballet and jazz dance lessons didn't make me any more graceful - they just helped keep me from bumping into the furniture on stage.”

“In 1969, I wrote a musical called 'Mother Earth.' It was a rock musical with an ecology theme. We did it at the South Coast Repertory Theatre in Southern California where I was a member. It was a smash hit in this small theater.”

“The Stones can get out there and do it till they're old men. But certain groups are sad-looking to me.”

“In my ballets, woman is first. Men are consorts. God made men to sing the praises of women. They are not equal to men: They are better.”

“I didn't care how much work it would take, and I didn't see the time invested as a waste or like I was missing out on anything. Ballet became my ultimate passion.”

“The particular ballet was not so important as the fact that I was physically healthy, and capable of getting out there and dancing as often as possible.”
