I love life. I love the live theater.

You take a plug and put it in a socket, and that's what the theatre is-it lights up right away. You speak, and they respond immediately.

Theatre is immediate gratification

Mother loved dance so much that she thought (ballerina) Margot Fonteyn should be the president.

It's communication - that's what theatre is all about.

The spirit of dance is an amazing thing. When the body and the spirit meet, it's a good thing.

I'm bugged because I can't believe I can't speak every language there is. But I feel I can when I sit and am with somebody, and I can dance for them. Because dance is dialogue without language.

Many of the shows I danced in don't exist on film, but they do exist in the memories of those who were in the theater for that single moment in time. And nothing can replace that.

My neighborhood was a great neighborhood; it was filled with all sorts of ethnic groups and things. So I grew up thinking I was a human being.

Looking back doesn't have to be painful.

I'm not comfortable with just me, me, me. That's boring.

But it is. It’s something you need, and that’s a long way from nothing. If you need it, Eddie, we need it. What we don’t need is a man who can’t let go of the useless baggage of his memories.

Don’t allow the Internet to become your congregation. YouTube is a horrible place to go to church.

Peace dies when the framework is ripped apart. When there is no longer a place that is yours in the world. When you know no longer where your friend is to be found.

If you want to win a horse race, you need your horse to be 100%.

We constantly change the world, even by our inaction. Therefore, let us change it responsibly.

When I want to check out how my lifes been, I go through my albums. They steps in my life.

Whether elected or appointed, public officials serve those who put and keep them in office. We cannot depend upon them to fight our battles.

While I was a voracious movie-goer as a boy, I never put writing and films together in my mind.

Things that are done, it is needless to speak about...things that are past, it is needless to blame.

If you can't see God in All, you can't see God at all.
