my grandparents spoke russian, romanian, yiddish, and german. a sixth language? no way. they learned english, but they were never comfortable with it and they forgot it as soon as they could. my parents didn't speak english either, but they were going to live their lives in this country so they've learned it. they always spoken with a heavy accent and was something that was always a struggle for them. as they got older, they didn't want to do it anymore. my father spoke his last words in yiddish. we are born here, my native english speakers. i think you can mostly understand me. what i think about technology, i see a parallel and my family because i think about my parents, my parents have really become my grandparents' generation. if technology is something they did not want to learn. boy, would she like to forget it. she hates technology. we have really become a skilled computer users because we have had to. it is something we have had to learn, and we speak technology with an accent. we don't really know it intuitively. i looked at my kids, they are native speakers. th

narrator: sandor helped the boy get his first professional engagement in the yiddish art theatre's production of "the brothers ashkenazi," advising him to use an american-sounding stage name. in 1939, when i was starting my career as a dancer, i was a modern dancer, and in those days modern dancers and ballet dancers looked at each other with great contempt and great disdain. and i went to the met and i saw madame danilova do "swan lake." and it was a revelation. and i had to reconsider everything, because i realized that the classical vocabulary was a valuable instrument to be able to say anything you wanted to say in dance. so it changed my training, it changed my career it changed my choreography and it changed my life. narrator: two weeks after his 21st birthday, robbins made the following entry in his diary -- "i have found the purpose of all i shall do "and the regulation of my life. i will live to dance." it wasn't an easy resolution to keep.

"i go into being outside and alone and no good," he wrote in his journal. increasingly unable to strike a balance between his identity and his artistic aspirations he spiraled into a suicidal depression and in july 1975, spent three weeks at a psychiatric hospit
