My mother told me I was dancing before I was born. She could feel my toes tapping wildly inside her for months.

One thing I turn my back on totally is the unsavory atmosphere at most discos.

You know, there's nothing damnable about being a strong woman. The world needs strong women. There are a lot of strong women you do not see who are guiding, helping, mothering strong men. They want to remain unseen. It's kind of nice to be able to play a strong woman who is seen.

I believe in dressing for the occasion. There's a time for sweater, sneakers and Levis and a time for the full-dress jazz.

I've got enough nerve to do anything!

Like most actors, I've always been grateful for Chinese restaurants; they were often the only places that stayed open late enough for performers to get hot food after the show.

I do everything the man does, only backwards and in high heels!
