“Along that thought too I also get questions from younger kids or even kids in college who are like, “Dance is only thing that brings me happiness, how can I do this thing or should I like finish school.”  They’re asking not even me, I’m sure you guys you know, “What do I do?”  and in that sense its like um…I think for me is…”

“Count the Cost.  You know like its not laid in your lap.  If I say yeah do it,  then you’re gonna succeed…If you really wanna pursue and like make this your mission to be happy and give up things like that I’m honestly not telling you to quit school.  School is so important but like its really counting the cost like what do you wanna pursue and how hard are you going to work at this because every dancer or aspiring person that you see in front of you that you look up to, even the men in this room, is like we counted the cost and we said this is what we love and we’re gonna work our blood sweat and tears to make it happen so even in that sense its like, are you willing to do that too?”

“ If you can find a way to like, scale it, and look around the corner and be like hmm, how can I pass this?  Maybe I just won’t go this way I’ll take the long way around.  You know its like finding new inspiration for yourself to see the world in a way that you never had before.”

“Its like a muscle right?  Its like if you want to keep doing what you do, you maintain it or you make it stronger so like, working out 3 - 4 times a week whether it be like strength conditioning, endurance training or literally just repetition of moves is definitely important and key.”

“Divide.  I think in the current state of our country its just undeniable that we’re divided and its um theres a lot of hate and just ignorance going around.  Less of that more of empathy.  I think if people had more natural empathy to put their feet into the shoes another man the more understanding there would be of one another.”

“Always strive to learn something new.  Never settle for less.”
