Michael Flatley quotes:

Ideally if I settled down with a wife I would love to form my own troupe of mini dancers!

I feel like a tiger right now. There's nothing impossible if you get up and work for it.

I don't believe that when you are 25 you are over the hill. Fifty is the new 30.

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?

I'm at a stage in my life when I want a wife and a family.

I would rather be having a burger and beers with my mates but I can't do that when I know I've got to dance.

Promise me you will appreciate every moment because we are the lucky ones

Celtic Tiger portrays the oppression of a people and the tiger symbolises the awakening of their Spirit and their struggle for freedom. Celtic Tiger is my finest work to date. Budapest is one of my favourite cities in the world and I can think of no greater place to preview my new show.

I'm proud of my Irish heritage and culture...

It has always been my dream and ambition to introduce Irish dancing to the world.

My dancers are the real stars,

Whenever I hear, 'It can't be done,' I know I'm close to success.

I'm not an egomaniac like a lot of people say. But I am the world's best dancer, that's for sure.

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.

Anything is possible. I've got a few more miles in me. I'm not going to feel sorry for myself.

Follow your dreams, because you wouldn't want it so bad if you couldn't have it. The universe gives you these dreams because you can have them. If you're willing to work for it, you can have anything you want.

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.

If I never do another show, I'll die a happy man.

I'll try anything once, most things twice.

Life isn't about the number of times you're knocked down, it's about the number of times you get back up.

Since I was a kid, I've been a dancer, and, of course, I'll always be a dancer till the day I die.

You're out on stage, the music is blaring, the crowd is screaming, the lights are flashing, your heart is pumping, the sweat is flying, and it's the greatest feeling in the whole world.
