Quotes from Katherine Dunham

So many dancers paint. I used to paint. I started again recently. While I was dancing, I was very busy with my career. Start something else that makes use of your creative ability because if you don't you will die inside as a person.

My 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.

We don't intend to always keep this necessarily African oriented. Originally I had hoped to have African American Indian of this area, and the Appalachian of this area, but at the same time, just as we have the Haitian room, we will always have room for another exhibit.

I really think that aside from admiring my talent you really admire me as a person and as a woman.

When you have faith in something, it's your reason to be alive and to fight for it.

I am happy to know that my husband regards me as a woman and a person.
