I think dancing is one of the best things anyone can do for themselves. And it doesn't cost anything.

I refused to be disrespected. So, at 16, of course, I was a gentleman about it, but I told them and it cost me my job.

I have worked with a lot of different great people. One of the things my partner, my manager Judy Weinstein, instilled in [David] Morales and myself is that the quality goes in before the name goes home.

It's not easy staying relevant in the marketplace.

I'm always looking for just the right song that has something to say.

When you create something out of nothing it's the most thrilling thing.

I believe it also says that I am a friend to everyone and enemy to no one.
