Herbert Ross's quotes

  • [explaining why he quit ballet as a professional career] I was too tall and big-boned and never had good feet.
  • [on working with Goldie Hawn on Protocol (1984)] Everyone knows that the woman is super-talented. She is also a saint. "Protocol" was a difficult production with lots of locations, a big cast and a tight schedule. Goldie was wonderful throughout.
  • [on A Date with a Lonely Girl (1971)] I was fooled by the script. I discovered in working on the script that it was like quicksand: the harder we worked, the more we investigated, the more damage we did.
  • I spent all those years in ballet, and as Balanchine [ballet dancer George Balanchine] said, ballet is women. I'm used to perceiving women as independent and often more than our equals.
  • "Herbert was a great director because he took his knowledge of dance into the movement of acting. He mastered flamboyance and sensitivity. He was a [dance] gypsy who at the end understood it all. I will miss him deeply." --Shirley MacLaine
  • [on his broken ankle as a danseur] It didn't heal right, and that . . . was the end of my dancing career.
