"In the span of a few minutes, I had before my eyes the representation of everything I had never been able to reconcile in my life, the representation of how I had always felt. [...] Never had a work of art touched me so deeply, nor has any other since. [...] Someone had put into images and gestures what I felt deep within. [...] I now had images on which it was easier to put words."
"Giving is simply an essential role for this living art, which is contemporary dance, which reflects the social issues of the moment. [...] The pleasure and satisfaction of seeing virtuoso dancers and choreographers from all walks of life is irreplaceable for truly living. I always give with joy."
"Dance is a relatively poorly supported form of art. The dancers make a major life commitment with their training and development. Unlike sports, dance does not have an embedded support system driven by competitions with substantial prizes. So it is important that dancers have opportunities to share their art and be appreciated as artists and athletes. It takes more than ticket sales to support development in the arts."
"There are little bits of magic in all performances."
