I wanna live.

My work... is my legacy.

I just love to work hard.

I've had so many injuries.

I don't know what's on the other side.

I'm not afraid of death. I'm going home.

The steps aren’t enough. Feel the music.

I've never been one to run from a challenge.

Everything is designed to help you sell out.

I don't want to be a poster child for cancer.

Life sure has a sick sense of humor, doesn’t it?

Good-looking people turn me off. Myself included.

You know, I am a Leo. Lion is a giant part of me.

Feel what the wave is doing, then accept its energy.

The longer your life goes on, the more death you face.

I want you to be nice...until it's time to not be nice.

Surfing's the source. Can change your life. Swear to god

I keep my heart and my soul and my spirit open to miracles.

When you dance, things just go away, things don't seem so bad.

I found that dance was key to keeping depression out of my life.

The way to screw up somebody's life is to give them what they want.

It just blows me away that I am on, I don't know what generation of fans.

When people are away from home, they do things they might not normally do.

There's just something about dance. It's like a primal thing in all of us.

I had a lot of anger because I wasn't happy with the way I had been raised.

Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation will cause your worst fears to come true.

Dance is the pure language of the soul - it's been with us from the very beginning.

I'm trying to shut up and let my angels speak to me and tell me what I'm supposed to do.

I will go so far as to say probably smoking had something to do with my pancreatic cancer.

When it looks like I may live longer than five minutes I'll drop cigarettes like a hot potato.

As always, I appreciate all the love and support people have sent and continue to send my way.

Together we can make a world where cancer no longer means living with fear, without hope, or worse.

I like to believe that I've got a lot of guardian warriors sittin' on my shoulder including my dad.

How do you nurture a positive attitude when all the statistics say you're a dead man? You go to work.

There's no better way to take care of health than through something as joyous and beautiful as dance.

Sometimes a movie encapsulates a period or a moment in all of our lives in such a way that it never dies.

I got completely fed up with that Hollywood blockbuster mentality. I couldn't take it seriously any longer.

What winning is to me is not giving up, is no matter what's thrown at me, I can take it. And I can keep going.

One thing I'm not going to do is chase staying alive. You spend so much time chasing staying alive, you won't live.

I keep dreaming of a future, a future with a long and healthy life, not lived in the shadow of cancer but in the light.

I don't know how many hills and valleys I've had, how many times I've had to refocus my world and my life and my career.

Talent deserves to be honored. Hands deserve to be slapped if you do something stupid as well, but don't take it too far.

When you are a pit bull, and you love what you do and you are going to continue to grow, that talent will find its way out.

I think what creates a winner is a person who can connect with their partner - another human being.. connect with their soul

What's powerful about a love scene is not seeing the act. It's seeing the passion, the need, the desire, the caring, the fear.

You can imagine me as a kid growing up in redneck Texas with ballet shoes, tucking the violin under my arm. I had to fight my way up.

I am very, very clear on how difficult it is for a young kid out there to go into the arts without taking a lot of heat from his peers.

If I'm going to do television, I wanted that 'North and South' experience. I wanted something that's going to challenge me on a constant basis.

If I leave this Earth, I want to leave this Earth just knowing I've tried to give something back and tried to do something worthwhile with myself.

You can't be pregnant in leotards, and this is the last chance for us to get our bodies into the shape of concert dancers and capture it with the magic of film.
