You have to be aware. Like, I'm not going to do any downhill skiing. It looks like a whole lot of fun, but I'm not going to risk breaking a leg. I want to be dancing the way I'm dancing now for 30 more years.

Creating a role is an interesting thing - each show or each situation is different.

If I'm not in shape, it feels like something is wrong. If I haven't been able to get to class for a while or I've been sick, I don't feel complete. It doesn't feel like the electricity is making its connections

The first Broadway show I saw was when I was 11. I saw 'Hair.

The musical stuff I'd go up for was always funny, sexy, tough-as-nails, heart-of-gold characters.

I don't see my dancing or acting as two separate things. I don't define them separately, so I can't say one has helped the other, It's all the same thing. More than anything I love being on stage and performing

When you're a dancer who is injured, you are at the bottom of the food chain. We are so replaceable.
