When times are bad, people like to lose themselves in the sheer glamour of another period: beautiful wardrobes, magnificent meals served in elegant settings.

You know, I have never had a casting couch proposition in my life. I thought there was something wrong with me.

Then come the lights shining on you from above. You are a performer. You forget all you learned, the process of technique, the fear, the pain, you even forget who you are you become one with the music, the lights, indeed one with the dance.

I could be whatever I wanted to be if I trusted that music, that song, that vibration of God that was inside of me.

To dance at all is to confront oneself. It is the art of honesty.

I hoped that the trip would be the best of all journeys: a journey into ourselves.

There's no journey worth taking except the journey through one's self. That's the most important journey you take. I found that out as I went around the world many times: I was learning about me.
