Living had little use for me other than how it could be funneled into dance.

You can keep on chewing gum for ten hours, but after about a minute and a half you've got all the good out of it.

I was interested in becoming a show dancer, for which I tried, but I'm not tall enough.

The routine is as much a part of the creative process as the lightening bold of inspiration, maybe more. And this routine is available to everyone.

Optimism with some experience behind it is much more energizing than plain old experience with a certain degree of cynicism.

You don't have a really good idea until you combine two little ideas.

Modern dancers should be doing things no one else is doing, and it should come from the gut.
