The important thing is to know why we want to dance. We dance a solitude that we have inside us and cannot occupy with anything. This gap, that emptiness to which we put movement is the TANGO.

The secret of tango is in this moment of improvisation that happens between step and step. It is to make the impossible thing possible: to dance silence.

I think those who say that you can't tango if you are not Argentine are mistaken. Tango was an immigrant music... so it does not have a nationality. It's only passport is feeling.

Tango is about feeling and sensitivity, otherwise you are just doing gymnastics. You can do all the steps but it has to have the feeling and sensitivity of authentic tango.

Sometimes when you least expect it, the tables turn and that scary feeling that has taken hold of you for so long somehow turns into hope

Judging a person's maturity by the number of years they've lived is misleading. This is because people mature at different rates.

Make no mistake. You are your most important critic and your conscience your most important judge of character.

My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can't take that away from me.

If unconditional love and genuine enthusiasm are present, praise isn't necessary. If they're absent, praise won't help.

It’s not technically gossip if you start your sentence with “I’m really concerned about __________________ ,” (fill in the name of the person you’re not gossiping about).

I do not know whether there are gods, but there ought to be.

No one can blather on like a holy man with a trapped audience. Well, maybe a politician.

Our minds are rendered buoyant by exercise.

Pretty soon I think you'll have Republicans, Democrats and Hip Hop as a party.
