Couple Quote by 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.””
