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 was never like, "collect, collect," like people who go to auctions. I never spent a serious amount of time because I don't have any time!

Dance is an ephemeral, a fleeting art. To describe this momentum, every movement on stage, in words is virtually impossible.

What do dancers think of Fred Astaire? It's no secret. We hate him. He gives us a complex because he's too perfect. His perfection is an absurdity. It's too hard to face.

To achieve some depth in your field requires a lot of sacrifices.

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