“How lonely it is going to be now on the Yellow Brick Road.”

“I am dancing all the time. Every gesture, the body line of every pose, the way I get from place to place, the movement in the acting - none of it would be the way it is if I weren't a dancer.”

“I became a dancer in self-defense. I was doing a comedy monologue and didn't know how else to get off, so I danced off. I've been dancing ever since, but I'm still a comedian.”

“I just play the little guy, except I play him through dance.”
