I can take a beginner kid that has never danced in their lives, and I can teach them something, or I can take a really advanced dancer, and I can make them into a professional. ”

I don't want flowers or candy or anything like that. I just want somebody to say, 'Wow, you've done a great job.' ”

I have goals. ”

Competitions are a business, first and foremost. ”

Do your job. Do it the best you can. Do it right, because somebody, sometimes your best friend, is waiting for you to screw up so she can take your place. ”

I like to choreograph and create and design the costumes and do it all and then step back and watch it and then move on to the next project. ”

You always have to remember that if you say something negative, it's going to come back to haunt you. ”

I don't like people going behind my back. ”

My wheelchair is like the Cadillac of wheelchairs; it goes up and down and back, and I can lay down in it. ”

I don't want a brat on my team. ”
