The body can do amazing things in a situation when it is really called for.

After I stopped dancing, I was unable to listen to beautiful music.

Although we do come from a silent profession, it is important for us to verbalize what we want to say. (As I tell my students): you could love someone all your life, but if you never say it how are they going to know? There comes a point when you have to say what you mean, which makes you scream louder when you dance.

When you are on stage, you don't see faces. The lights are in your eyes and you see just this black void out in front of you. And yet you know there is life out there, and you have to get your message across.

You're never more of an individual than when you're a happy team player.

I loved tests because it was another form of competing, a healthy competition.

I could work out a lot of my emotions by going to class and dancing.
