I believe in spirit and then I believe a manifestation of spirit is dance

I believe that this world was set about for us to enjoy and to love and to experience and to have it all be, to a certain extent, unpredictable. Ever since I was a child I have believed that my life has been guided.

Excellence is the name of the game.

Dance is about never-ending aspiration.

I have been guilty of watching Westerns without acknowledging that Native Americans have gone through the same madness as African Americans. Isn't it extraordinary that sometimes the most offended have not seen others being offended?

Dance is not endangered - it will always find a way to express itself.

Maybe its a generational thing, but I never wanted to be the best black dancer in the world. I just wanted to be the best.
