Guest nycdog Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 "Some people think that you have to cry to have emotions," he once said. "Suppose you don't - then people believe you're cold and have no heart. Some people are hot, some cold. Which is better? I prefer cold. I have never cried at a ballet. I never cry anytime." NY Times, 1 May 1983, Balanchine's Obituary. Oh this is so weird to me! I cry for HOURS on end when I study music! How could it have benefited Balanchine to never cry? Link to comment
dirac Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Balanchine was someone who had the rug pulled out from under him many times in his life. It must have made him very tough. I'm sure once he reached adulthood he didn't cry too often. Link to comment

carbro Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 It may explain his attraction to Farrell, who once theorized that the reason she didn't sweat was because she cried so often. Link to comment
