dream ambition dancing
It has always been my dream and ambition to introduce Irish dancing to the world.
years schedules able
I wasn't even sure I'd be able to walk. I couldn't even go outside. Maybe I was just burnt crisp from the gruelling schedule I had been keeping for years.
men shows happy-man
If I never do another show, I'll die a happy man.
trying
I'll try anything once, most things twice.
believe fifty hills
I don't believe that when you are 25 you are over the hill. Fifty is the new 30.
proud culture heritage
I'm proud of my Irish heritage and culture...
people dancer world
I'm not an egomaniac like a lot of people say. But I am the world's best dancer, that's for sure.
impossible get-up feels
I feel like a tiger right now. There's nothing impossible if you get up and work for it.
coffee dublin lasts
When's the last time you walked by a pub in Dublin and heard Irish music? When's the last time you ordered a coffee and heard an Irish accent?
numbers knocked-down get-back
Life isn't about the number of times you're knocked down, it's about the number of times you get back up.
appreciate promise lucky
Promise me you will appreciate every moment because we are the lucky ones
dream years today
I can go back to when I was six years old. I was always getting in trouble for dreaming, and the things I got in trouble for dreaming then are the things I'm doing today.
sorry miles feels
Anything is possible. I've got a few more miles in me. I'm not going to feel sorry for myself.
kids dancer dies
Since I was a kid, I've been a dancer, and, of course, I'll always be a dancer till the day I die.
