I m moved by contraries, by opposites, the strength that was my mother's eyes, the beauty of my father's hands.

I felt the naivete of a child in my dancing. I cherished that feeling. I had what I call a knowledgeable naivete, and it worked for me.

Once you've danced, you always dance. You can't deny the gifts that God sends your way.

Dance is about never-ending aspiration.

People come to see beauty, and I dance to give it to them.
