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

Dance is about never-ending aspiration.

So many people dwell on negativity and I've survived by ignoring it: it dims your light and it's harder each time to turn the power up again.

I've danced all over the world, and people are people. We cannot cut off from each other in life. In order to lead, you can't do that.

The word 'suffering' is not in my vocabulary.

I was a protege; by the age of 10, I was studying with ballet choreographer Anthony Tudor in a class of adults.

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.
