Ví dụ
“For my part, I’m going to break my neck to beat Miami and West Palm,” he quipped, pointing to Broward’s southern and northern neighbors. “Competition is good. And it’s the one measuring stick regular people understand.”

“I see now that I can’t be silent. I may not jump on the front lines, but I definitely just can’t be silent about stuff like this,” he said. “I’m still going to be quiet as a church mouse, but I just want to work towards that direction. If anybody I can help in any situation that I was in, I’m going to break my neck to do it, because a lot of people helped me in this situation.”

While there were few dancers on Courtnae's radar which inspired her starting out, Lorcia Cooper from e.tv’s Backstage was one that stood out. “I thought it was such an interesting thing, she was the only coloured female dancer that I knew existed.” The lack of representation encouraged her to pursue breaking. “I always asked myself why are no girls doing this? Girls were always doing the sexier contemporary kind of stuff and the guys got to do all the cool shit. So I said no, something’s got to give, I’m going to try even if I break my neck!”
