I found that dance was key to keeping depression out of my life. When you dance, things just go away, things don't seem so bad. There's no better way to take care of health than through something as joyous and beautiful as dance.

I don't know what's on the other side.

I don't want to be Mr. Romantic Leading Man. I don't want to be the Dance Dude. I don't want to be the Action Guy. If I had to do any one of those all my life, it'd drive me crazy.

I am very, very clear on how difficult it is for a young kid out there to go into the arts without taking a lot of heat from his peers.

I'm trying to shut up and let my angels speak to me and tell me what I'm supposed to do.

Good-looking people turn me off. Myself included.

A person who can connect with their partner, another human being who can connect with their soul − it's not just learning steps, it's about expressing something. I've found in dancing all my life that I can release something as a dancer that I can't in any other way.
