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.

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

'Saturday Night Fever,' Paula Abdul, 'Fame,' Debbie Allen... all affected me and the generation before me.

You are absolutely enough the way you are.

I'm born originally in Toronto, and I have what I call my 'Fame' story. I took a Greyhound bus and went to Alvin Ailey and received Dunham, Horton, Graham technique there, but I could never take my eyes off of Balanchine doing 'Nutcracker'; to me he's the best who ever did it.

I was obsessed with Chubby Checker and old dances, like the twist.

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