I don't see myself as a diva at all.

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.

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.

Stage and film are just two wildly different animals. Why compare the two?

People are at their happiest if they are true to themselves. I think that applies to their chosen profession, friends and relationships. It goes for your health too. If you are true to yourself, it seems to me everything should work out pretty well

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.
