Some Katherine Dunham's quotes. Goto "Katherine Dunham's quotation" section for more.Haiti itself was also photographed, some of the streets, some of the mountains, rivers, streams, etc. were photographed before talking with me about how I felt about Haiti. Then the camera went to our voodoo temple and saw a serious ceremony, a real ceremony.
Tags: Real, Serious, TalkingI used to want the words 'She tried' on my tombstone. Now I want 'She did it.'
Tags: She, Used, WordsI really think that aside from admiring my talent you really admire me as a person and as a woman.
Tags: Admire, Talent, WomanA creative person has to create. It doesn't really matter what you create. If such a dancer wanted to go out and build the cactus gardens where he could, in Mexico, let him do that, but something that is creative has to go on.
Tags: Creative, Him, WantedDon't think you are going to go on forever because you are not and begin to plan something that will compensate as you reduce your capacities to leap or turn on this or that or the other, begin thinking of something else.
Tags: Else, Plan, ThinkingI certainly feel my career was a great career because it inspired so many many people, literally hundreds of people to follow a new kind of life and to realize that they could make out and advance their own professional and private and social lives.
Tags: Career, Great, LifeMy work has been much more Caribbean and eclectic. I am interested in people, and where they come from happens to have fallen within an area of Africa.
Tags: Happens, Within, WorkThe older I grow the more I see the influence of my family on my life. I didn't always see it. It was up to our parents to see that we had our education in a town that hadn't yet realized what racial prejudice was but actually knew and practiced it on occasion.
Tags: Education, Family, LifeFrequently producers have partners that they never let the public know about.
Tags: Partners, Producers, PublicI have actually five honorary degrees.
Tags: Actually, Five, GraduationAside from a few master teachers that we have had over the years, this has been a completely local talent development. But people have started to come now from Chicago, we have a number of students from Chicago and different places of the country and even in the world.
Tags: Country, Few, TalentBlack people should have recognition for themselves and their backgrounds and their relationships with other people in the world and thus lose some of their alienation. This museum has certainly stood for that in this town.
Tags: Black, Lose, ThemselvesFor the kind of thing that we were showing, the budget was sufficient. As we were speaking of in Haiti, we had not done that before in exactly this form and we had to have costumes for it.
Tags: Budget, Done, SpeakingI could never live a nonproductive life and I feel that I have lived a productive life as far as I want to in terms of this company that I have for so many years.
Tags: Company, Far, LifeI had certain physical limitations that made me change the choreography for myself or made me more interested in choreography only rather than dancing. I have never been a person who wanted to just dance. I have always been interested in developing for other people.
