George Sampson quotes

“I dance for freedom. I dance for people's reaction more than anything. I feel great and I feel like I can do anything, say anything while I'm dancing and nobody can care. I do have times when I'm angry and I literally do slam my bedroom door and dance all around my bedroom. It's a good way of getting energy out and it's a good way of doing things, but I do it purely just to entertain other people.”
-- George Sampson

“Just don't let anything get in the way of what you want to achieve. A lot of people get knocked back by friends, or family, or peer pressure.

You have to remain committed, you have to stay focused and you have to be selfish.”
