He [Gene Kelly] once told me dancing was a man's game, as much of a sport as baseball itself. And he made us believe that. He changed our minds and suddenly, all of America wanted to dance just like Gene Kelly.

I had the drink after I fell out of bed. It hurt.

I have two false hips, a wired-up right knee, two crushed discs and scoliosis. If I don't dance, I seize up.

I feel like I haven't done my best work yet. I feel like there's a world of possibilities out there.

I'm fine, and my hips are fine. My false knee is fine. My false hips are fine. Everything's cooking.

Reality is something you rise above.

I consider myself an actress first, a dancer second, and a singer third. Why? Because the dancer needs a reason to move-that's the actor informing the dancer. So I worked on my acting and gradually developed a singing voice.
