I approach dancing from a different angle than those who begin dancing at 8 or 9. Those who have studied from the beginning never question anything.

I really have to dance more often, and so I travel around. If I don't, I will crumble.

For me, purity of movement wasn't enough. I needed expression, more intensity, more mind.

When I miss class for one day, I know it. When I miss class for two days, my teacher knows it. When I miss class for three days, the audience knows it.

The main thing is dancing, and before it withers away from my body, I will keep dancing till the last moment, the last drop.

I am still on stage. If you read Press...you would believe that I should be gone. But here I am doing it and DOING IT WELL!

What is art? It is not just nature, it is nurtured nature. It is intelligence applied to what physical ability you have.
