When a dancer comes onstage, he is not just a blank slate that the choreographer has written on. Behind him he has all the decisions he has made in life. Each time, he has chosen, and in what he is onstage, you see the result of those choices. You are looking at the person he is, and the person who, at this point, he cannot help but be Exceptional dancers, in my experience, are also exceptional people, people with an attitude toward life, a kind of quest, and an internal quality. They know who they are, and they show this to you, willingly.

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

Nothing is ever too expensive if it furthers the repertoire and artistic standards of a dance company.

You can be totally involved, you could admire just the shape of or you could be totally emotionally mushed up into the dance.

I don't drink milk, and I don't eat bread, pasta or rice. But I eat a lot of meat, chicken, fish and salads.

I found that dance, music, and literature is how I made sense of the world... it pushed me to think of things bigger than lifes daily routines... to think beyond what is immediate or convenient.

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