Dancing is a gift. You are supposed to do it; it's like breathing.

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.

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

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

The first time I started choreographing was in the dark, in my living room, with the lights completely out, to some popular music on the radio. I put the radio on full blast and I started moving. I didn't know what it looked like. I didn't want to see it... I had to start in the dark.

It's never too early to teach your children about the tool of money. Teach them how to work for it and they learn pride and self-respect. Teach them how to save it and they learn security and self-worth. Teach them how to be generous with it and they learn love.

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?
