Once you've danced, you always dance. You can't deny the gifts that God sends your way

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.

We can go on talking about racism and who treated whom badly, but what are you going to do about it? Are you going to wallow in that or are you going to create your own agenda?

Every dancer lives on the threshold of chucking it.

I've always felt that complement of opposites: body and soul, solitude and companionship, and in the dance studio, contraction and release, rise and fall.

I've been in a competitive situation almost all my life. I've been having a competition with myself and trying to be the best I could be.

Dance is about never-ending aspiration.
