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.

Artists need to express.

Certainly the life of a dancer is very difficult. The training is very hard and relentlessly grueling.

Anything that I do, I try to make it as good as I possibly can.

When I was born, they put casts on my legs 'cause I had some kind of dysplasia or something. My legs were all messed up.

I missed New York. Every break I had from the series, I'd fly back to the East Coast just to get back onstage.

It's a blessing as an artist to express myself - whether that be via dance, via song or via speech - in so many different ways.
