Quotes
[on what he learned from his mentor, Gene Kelly] If you didn't
understand how to design your choreography for the camera, then you
were shortchanging yourself and would never come to fully realize your
worth. It would have meant very little if I hadn't come to understand
technically how to put the work up.
