    • (on why he turned down the one-year contract to dance in Celine Dion's Las Vegas show) Benji: That really wasn't my genre of dance ... It's an honor, [but] that'd be like an environmental lawyer with a contract to represent O.J. Simpson.
    • (on whether he'll take the one-year contract with Celine Dion) Benji: Both Mia Michaels and Brian Friedman, my toughest critics throughout the competition, said I had to take it and that they'd work with me and my style.
    • (about being cast as Fred Astaire in an up-coming movie) Benji: I don't know if I can fill his shoes, but it will be great to try!
