There is an energy within... pure strength... the energy of the person which is put in different forms, in different shapes... once we discover that energy I think that such a thing as dance becomes such a delight because you're moving on a stream that is you but it is even over and beyond you.

You dance because you have to. Dance is an essential part of life that has always been with me.

Sometimes I have given my husband a manuscript to read that has turned out to have fantastic rave reviews and he'll tell me it is no good. Well, if I didn't know him as well as I know him I would be terribly depressed.

If you dance, you dance because you have to. Every dancer hurts, you know.

When you have faith in something, it’s your reason to be alive and to fight for it.

I don't think Ed Sullivan had anything to do with Carib Song.

So many dancers paint. I used to paint. I started again recently. While I was dancing, I was very busy with my career. Start something else that makes use of your creative ability because if you don't you will die inside as a person.
