It is the mission of all art to express the highest and most beautiful ideals of man.

I spent 30 minutes each morning rubbing my body with half a lemon to lighten my skin.

Why would you want someone who is conflicted and doesn't know if they love you or not?

I think dancing is a man's game and if he does it well he does it better than a woman.

So long as little children are allowed to suffer, there is no true love in this world.

Any actress who appears in public without being well-groomed is digging her own grave.

You are on the eve of a complete victory. You can't go wrong. The world is behind you.

Once you've danced, you always dance. You can't deny the gifts that God sends your way

A well dressed woman, even though her purse is painfully empty, can conquer the world.

A tapper sticks to existing routines. Whereas hoofing... a hoofer pushes the art form.

I'm just blessed, man. I'm just happy to share my art form with everyone. That's cool.

Life is about moving, it’s about change. And when things stop doing that they’re dead.

I think of music as fuel, its spectrum of energy governed by tempi, volume, and heart.

I was born in Costa Rica and we moved to America where it was a whole new world for me.

God dislikes evil, and no happiness can be built on hate. Love one another as brothers.

I believe dance is a manifestation and celebration of the tenacity of the human spirit.

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

I hate wearin' sunglasses, to be honest with you. You don't need sunglasses in Ireland.

I was interested in becoming a show dancer, for which I tried, but I'm not tall enough.

When a fan comes up to you and says I love your music, there’s nothing better than that.

Every girl needs a bestfriend to help her laugh when she thinks she`ll never smile again

I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying.' I tried with all my heart.

Jimmy Slyde was more a musician than a dancer; Greg Hines was more musician than dancer.

Everything has to do with meditation. It's a conversation; it's a joy - it's everything.

All I can do is leave it in God's hands and hope that my fans feel where I'm coming from.

One might say that the American trend of education is to reduce the senses almost to nil.

I love snacks, but I'm kind of growing out of them. I'm getting into fruit and Clif Bars.

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

I do believe that when dancing is right, the movement possesses a logic common to us all.

I see myself as sexy. If you are comfortable with it, it can be very classy and appealing.

I can't see how a single man could spend his time to better advantage than in the Marines.

In Hollywood, after you get a little success, the next thing you usually get is a divorce.

No composer has yet caught this rhythm of America - it is too mighty for the ears of most.

There's nothing wrong with my tits, but I don't go around throwing them in people's faces!

He was my cream, and I was his coffee - And when you poured us together, it was something.

What surprises me in life are not the marriages that fail, but the marriages that succeed.

Ultimately there is no such thing as failure. There are lessons learned in different ways.

It is extremely arrogant and very foolish to think that you can ever outwit your audience.

I'd like to thank the Academy for my lifetime achievement award that I will eventually get.

We were tap-dancers but we put more style into it, more bodywork, instead of just footwork.

The only dance masters I could have were Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Walt Whitman and Nietzsche.

The things we truly love stay with us always, locked in our hearts as long as life remains.

I haven't had a family, but I don't think of that as a sacrifice: my dancers are my family.

I particularly want more acting. I've been auditioning a lot, and I definitely want to act.

Doing is better than not doing, and if you do something badly you'll learn to do it better.

When you're in a rut, you have to question everything except your ability to get out of it.

We get into ruts when we run with the first idea that pops into our head, not the last one.

Everything present is included in the past somewhere; nobody's present pops out of nowhere.

I wanna be the best at what I do. I wanna sing, I wanna dance, I wanna act. That's about it.
