Modern dancers give a sinister portent about our times.

No trumpets sound when the important decisions of our life are made. Destiny is made known silently.

To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking.

The truest expression of a people is in its dances and its music. Bodies never lie.

I don't need to sell tons of records, but I want longevity. I want to make music for the rest of my life.
