“He was an amazing individual, even more amazing as a person than an artist. We could sit at home for hours and just watch dance moves on TV and talk about dance. He introduced me to artists I wasn’t familiar with, like Frankie Lymon and Fred Astaire. He taught me so much about dancing.  Something I’m very proud of is that I introduced him to hip-hop. […] He liked hip-hop as far as the music (beats), but even though he liked several hip-hop songs, he hadn’t really got into it. I thought it had to do with the violent lyrics and all the gangsta rap back then. He thought hip-hop music was just too violent.. but when I showed him a documentary about Tupac (Shakur’s) life, he changed his views and got a whole new outlook (on it). He could trust fewer and fewer friends.  It’s very difficult (to deal with him not being here anymore), I’m dealing with it every single day. I don’t like to talk about it, ‘cause it’s just too difficult….”
