Dancing is like bank robbery, it takes split-second timing.

To make real change, you have to be well anchored - not only in the belief that it can be done, but also in some pretty real ways about who you are and what you can do.

Dance is the stepchild of the arts.

A young person has to start making decisions for themselves at a much earlier age than an overbearing parent allows one.

The more you know, the better you can imagine.

If art is the bridge between what you see in your mind and what the world sees, then skill is how you build that bridge.

The irony of multitasking is that it's exhausting: when you're doing two or three things simultaneously, you use more energy than the sum of energy required to do each task independently. You're also cheating yourself because your're not doing anything excellently. You're compromising your virtuosity. In the words of T. S. Elliot, you're 'distracted from distractions by distractions'.
