Dancers work and they work and they work, and they master their skills so far that improvisation just comes flowing out of them. Their natural expression of the best they can possibly be comes out of them because there is no boundary to hold them back... That's the mentality that I'm trying to create, recreate and hold on to forever.

Modern dancers should be doing things no one else is doing, and it should come from the gut.

I know that dancers, especially ballet dancers, can't do it forever.

I'm not a good dancer, but I try. I don't really have the moves.

I'm pretty gutsy. Dancers don't think about things; they just do them.

There's no dancer alive better than those of the 1950s and 1960s. It's only the energy that changes. Every now and then, someone like me comes along, and people say, 'Oh, this guy is this new thing.' But that's not so. There is no me without them. The tradition just goes on.

I was a breakdancer as a kid. I was on one of the top break dancing teams in Australia.

When I was a dancer, I would see that dancers were treated like garbage. I mean like, like extras.
