The word 'suffering' is not in my vocabulary.

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

You don't enter a dance studio and say "I can't do that." If you do, then why are you in the studio in the first place?

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.

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