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.

Frequently producers have partners that they never let the public know about.

Go within every day and find the inner strength so that the world will not blow your candle out

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

I used to want the words 'She tried' on my tombstone. Now I want 'She did it.'

I had certain physical limitations that made me change the choreography for myself or made me more interested in choreography only rather than dancing. I have never been a person who wanted to just dance. I have always been interested in developing for other people.

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.
