I felt the naivete of a child in my dancing. I cherished that feeling. I had what I call a knowledgeable naivete, and it worked for me.

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

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.

I want to know who you are as a person, and then I want you to develop as a whole human being.

Learn the craft of knowing how to open your heart and to turn on your creativity. There's a light inside of you.

People come to see beauty, and I dance to give it to them.
