“I am originally from Switzerland. Most of the people there are known to do things the best they can—perfectionists—and this what I enjoyed here [at Shen Yun] because they are such perfectionists. It was incredible. Nobody could do it better ... It must take so much time to get it to that point.”

“In my life, I tried to do the best I can, so whenever I saw other people doing half-measures it always bugged me. I never enjoyed that. When I see this, I can see the work that must go behind it and they’re actually able to do that, they are able to accomplish such perfection. … I was in awe, really.”
