Every dancer lives on the threshold of chucking it.

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

I'm moved by contraries, by opposites, the strength that was my mother's eyes, the beauty of my father's hands.

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.

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.

If you look at a dancer in silence, his or her body will be the music. If you turn the music on, that body will become an extension of what you're hearing.

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.
