When I’m on TV or whatever, I’m able to bring my instruments, my board, and my sound is intact. But other kids who are on TV, when they’re doing tap, sometimes they’re just on the regular floor. It’s not as safe; it’s not as sound-worthy as it should be. Savion Glover Read Quote
I’m always inspired by music, things of that nature. Just life in general. I’m happy to be waking up and having another chance at it. Savion Glover Read Quote

My show mode is that the dressing room is like going into the cockpit. Going down the stairs is like going on the runway, and once we begin performing, it’s flight time. I’m just floatin’ on that stage. Savion Glover Read Quote
The youth coming up is interested in dance now, and they’re coming to the shows. That’s a blessing for those of us who create. Savion Glover Read Quote
Great athletes last because they let the mental do all the work. What we do as hoofers is not so much a physical strain as everybody thinks. It’s more of a mental stretch. Savion Glover Read Quote
When you find real jazz on the radio dial, it comes in all static-y. It’s just like tap dancers. You have to go uptown to find the real hoofers. We only come to midtown if we’re called upon. Savion Glover Read Quote
I go for a nice walk in my neighborhood and search for vinyl, old jazz, classics. Then I go home and listen to them. Savion Glover Read Quote
I’m continuing the educational process of getting people to accept dance as music. Savion Glover Read Quote
