I do not try to dance better than anyone else. I only try to dance better than myself.

When I see people on the street, I look at how they walk. It's like a signature, a fingerprint.

Nobody is born a dancer.

Dancers are stripped enough onstage. You don't have to know more about them than they've given you already.

A theater is such a revealing form of art, such a transparent and good actors, they're such powerful individuals. I always kind of dreamt that one day I will open my mouth on stage.

I never liked dance photography; it's very flat, and dance photography in the studio looks very contrived.

Nobody else in the world has a form like the Native American musical, and Americans should be very proud.
