For me, a dancer is part of an artist’s entertainment - “backup dancer” isn’t even in my vocabulary.

I dance but I also work out. I run, do strength training... you name it. I've got to!

Back in the early days like for the Temptations, Supremes and Four Tops, artist development was alive in record companies. Every artist had a moment to develop the record visually. When the web took over and camera phones, it stripped the artists of the power to figure it out. So there's a need to bridge that gap and that's my job.

I'm a tough coach, but on the other side of that is me telling them to go all out, "because you're great, because I don't want you to fail, because you were born to do this and you have a dream."

'Born This Way' is shaping up to be creative ecstasy.

I was very disenchanted in the industry for a long time before I met GaGa. Everyone wanted a "Single Ladies" for their artist, or a Puffy move.
