More quotes by Chita Rivera
Looking back doesn't have to be painful.
Chita Rivera
I love the theater because the theater is alive. The audience is right there.
Chita Rivera
It's communication - that's what theatre is all about.
Chita Rivera
I have to make this love affair believable enough. It's very European.
Chita Rivera
I love life. I love the live theater.
Chita Rivera
You can feel whether an audience is tightened up and pulled back. Of course the opposite is an audience like we've been having in LA, which is fabulous.
Chita Rivera
You take a plug and put it in a socket, and that's what the theatre is-it lights up right away. You speak, and they respond immediately.
Chita Rivera
I am young in my energy because I really still believe that we can share who we are, and we can wipe off on each other. I see this huge tapestry when we're born, and this red blob that's your soul or your heart.
Chita Rivera
I love to laugh, I love the joy of life, and I love sharing it.
Chita Rivera
I have been very lucky, I have only had one bad experience.
Chita Rivera
I'm bugged because I can't believe I can't speak every language there is. But I feel I can when I sit and am with somebody, and I can dance for them. Because dance is dialogue without language.
Chita Rivera
I never like the way I look. I don't. I never look at myself.
Chita Rivera
San Francisco has just blown us all away. I also understand Angels in America didn't do well there.
Chita Rivera
The spirit of dance is an amazing thing. When the body and the spirit meet, it's a good thing.
Chita Rivera
My hairdresser and I found ourselves shopping at Bloomingdale's with nothing to do for days.
Chita Rivera
I really never felt any tremendous aggravation or separation.
Chita Rivera
Beauty is not everything!
Chita Rivera
I do believe that separation can be a bit damaging at times. To be happy about yourself and your culture and all of that is necessary and fulfilling, but the whole tapestry is what's important.
Chita Rivera
Many of the shows I danced in don't exist on film, but they do exist in the memories of those who were in the theater for that single moment in time. And nothing can replace that.
Chita Rivera
You know I've got a generator that's still popping.
