I feel very uneasy with a lot of aspects of the Russian life and the Russian people.

I dance but I also work out. I run, do strength training... you name it. I've got to!

I'm more of a fantasy kind of person. I like movies. My favorite movie is 'Kick Ass.'

You look for those actors or actresses that fit the personality to populate the film.

I have a lot of actors I want to work with; Brad Pitt, Keanu Reeves, and Uma Thurman.

It's all about salsa with grain chips, tofu, turkey slices, hummus, and coconut water.

I believe one thing: that today is yesterday and tomorrow is today and you can't stop.

The body is your instrument in dance, but your art is outside that creature, the body.

Choreographers use me as the old guy who still dances. Not that I put on white tights.

Thousands of kids and parents come up to us and say, How do we get better as a singer?

I would like to go and dance in Palestine one day, with great pleasure, great pleasure.

A good education is usually harmful to a dancer. A good calf is better than a good head.

I feel like a tiger right now. There's nothing impossible if you get up and work for it.

Beyond being Jewish, I've always found myself to be very much in tune with spirituality.

Modern dance isn't anything except one thing in my mind: the freedom of women in America.

The gesture is the thing truly expressive of the individual - as we think so will we act.

Ideally if I settled down with a wife I would love to form my own troupe of mini dancers!

Find fitness with fun dancing. It is fun and makes you forget about the dreaded exercise.

The steeper the mountain the harder the climb the better the view from the finish line ;)

Dance gave me a focus so I could survive, and energy so I could have confidence in myself.

I've got more energy now than when I was younger because I know exactly what I want to do.

I think there's a time when your personal life gets magnified by who we are as celebrities.

I have been very lucky to work in so many new ballets, but that is what a dancer's work is.

You end up becoming who you are by jumping into that circle of fear - that's how it's done.

Normally our season is seven weeks in the Drama Theatre and four weeks in the Opera Theater.

Would rather learn from failures I'm proud of than take pride in success I don't believe in.

No artist is ahead of his time. He is his time; it is just that others are behind the times.

People of art should never get married and have children, because it's a selfish experience.

Opening cans of chili in zero gravity to see how it looks, that's something that went wrong.

I'm not retired, I will continue directing films and doing fight choreography. I won't stop.

Mum had a job fitting upholstery into cars, but, in the evenings, she worked as a seamstress.

First comes the sweat. Then comes the beauty if you're very lucky and have said your prayers.

No animal ever has an ugly body until it is domesticated. It is the same with the human body.

I want to make people feel intensely alive. I'd rather have them against me than indifferent.

I'm proud of my Irish heritage and culture and this show will feature a lot of Irish dancing.

Can you imagine Simon as a kid? His imaginary friends probably never wanted to play with him.

I mean, I think in the early days we were pretty... pretty British in our entertainment leads.

Everyone has the notion that hip-hop is messy and loose, but there's also another level to it.

Dance is a life, everyday. don't miss it. You're in bodies, you can move... Where is your joy?

In the place where you feel completely uncomfortable, is the place where you find your genius.

Anything is possible. I've got a few more miles in me. I'm not going to feel sorry for myself.

I like the most provocative and most surprising partnerships on stage. Intensity and surprise.

Little Walter and Muddy Waters were incredible. And Bo Diddley was doing some great stuff, too.

I don't think people we'll miss the fact that SDC is way up there and that our profile is high.

Theater used to be a verb; it used to be an act. But nowadays it is just a noun. It is a place.

No dancer can watch Fred Astaire and not know that we all should have been in another business.

When I see people on the street, I look at how they walk. It's like a signature, a fingerprint.

Not only do I never lie, I never respond to lies, no matter how vicious, no matter how hurtful.

I'm grateful this ordeal is over, and I'm so looking forward to getting back to the job I love.

My choreography suits men very well, and the women who can do it are damn hard, strong dancers.
