Quotes 

• Maureen Cummings : If this is what I wanted, I wouldn't be as unhappy as I've been. I'd have friends, I'd sleep well, I wouldn't throw up half the things that I eat.

  Nancy Cummings : You watch your weight. There's nothing wrong with that!

  Maureen Cummings : Mom, I'm telling you I'm unhappy and sick. I can't do this any more!

  Nancy Cummings : But it's your dream. You just don't give up on your dream.

  Maureen Cummings : It's your dream, and it matters more to you than anything ever did to me. So I did it, but I can't any more.

  Nancy Cummings : I know what regret feels like, and I don't want that for you.

  Maureen Cummings : That's what ballet would be. A life of wishing that I found something I loved, instead of something I just happened to do well. I'm not you, Mom. You didn't have the feet. I don't have the heart.

• Nancy Cummings : Good thing I didn't step on one of your feet. You could sue me.

  Juliette : Don't worry, they're not as valuable as they used to be.
