Dancing's not always stressful, but I always make sure that I'm prepared as I can be, both physically, mentally, and practically.

Young dancers are training at a very vulnerable time in their lives... So train the whole person, not just the dancer.

I enjoy the freedom of modern dance as well as the constraints of classical dance.

Body language is a very powerful tool. We had body language before we had speech, and apparently, 80% of what you understand in a conversation is read through the body, not the words.

A good dancer is an educated one, so dont abandon school.

If you change your way of thinking about failure, you can transform your weaknesses into strengths & realize opportunities for growth.

Men create real miracles when they use their God-given courage and intelligence.

Others have been made fools of by the girls; but, this can never be with truth said of me. I most emphatically, in this instance,made a fool of myself.

I think if there's anything that can help fat kids get out of the house and anybody to move, it's a positive thing.

I am too easily contented with a slight and almost animal happiness. My happiness is a good deal like that of the woodchucks.

It's better to make fun of yourself because you've always got someone around to make fun of, and they can't sue you.

Fear is the underminer of all determinations; and necessity, the victorious rebel of all laws.

Shirley Temple had charisma as a child. But it cleared up as an adult.
