I'm a Gatorade athlete because dance is being recognized as a sport now. It always should have been, but now it is. It's very exciting.

The life of a dancer is not for everyone. You really have to have some thick skin. You really have to know what you're going into and how competitive the field is.

Dance removes you from this construct of the world that you have, and it's a conversation that you're having with people. That's how dance grew, as an art form.

Dancing is so physical and so athletic. I think it rings to the boy that is in my soul because you get to run and jump and climb and act as aggressively as you'd like.

Dance is an art, so day by day, it's growing and there are new things that can be done.

People can stand around and share movement with each other, whether it's professional or not. That's how it grows. That's what dance does. It's its own language.

With dance, it's about education. I'm teaching a lot. I teach the foundations of hip-hop.

I feel like I've always been in love with dance. When I was little kid I would always be the one who would be like, okay let's make up some dance routines.

Being a fan of dance and a dancer, I love my classic dance movies.

At some point in time, in the future, people are going to refer to the Step Up films as the films they grew up on. Hopefully, that inspires them to get in dance films that are being made.

As far as the performance aspect, I'm going to be an actor. I still love performing, but I'm moving into more acting.

Self-denial is painful for a moment but very agreeable in the end.

Sooner or later you've heard all your best friends have to say. Then comes the tolerance of real love.

The fox changes his skin but not his habits.

Fitness is important, but the most important thing is how you adapt and the way you feel physically. To adapt to a new position. To try to change your game.

Judas is a reflection of anyone who ends up rejecting Jesus. It's a tragic story?not something to shake your finger at, but something to be sad about.

In neglected fields the fern grows, which must be cleared out by fire.

If we are to preserve culture we must continue to create it.

I have improved the way in which I paint. The colours are cleaner and there is more energy in the brush work.

To build a more healthy, peaceful and equitable world the classrooms of the world have to be full of girls as well as boys.

Better lose your life than your soul.
