“I imagine everyone who’s dancing has the passion within them, and expresses it through all their movements. It’s spontaneous, even though you know they trained for hours and the perfection of their movements is so amazing. There’s still that lovely freedom and joy.”

“I know a little bit of the history, and watching it coming out in the dance, and hearing the emcees talk about it, it was just very meaningful. … I thought it was excellent; it was very different, different to the kind of show I’ve seen before. Expressed very appropriately for the culture of China.”
