Because of my childhood where I was constantly by myself, I always feel lonely. I have a lot of people that I absolutely love and I know love me but I can't get rid of that feeling of loneliness no matter who I'm with - even with my children.

I know what it's like not to have food in the fridge or money to buy more.

I don't want to have strong arms, like you get from Pilates or yoga. But dancing arms become your best accessory. And it's great for your core muscles.

If you never know hardship, you can't really support people around you.

Keeping up with everything I do requires some sacrifices, but once and a while I need to take some time to myself.

We all have our own purpose in life and I feel very strongly that I have a bigger purpose than giving to just my immediate family and friends.

My childhood gave me resilience - and there's little that can surprise me in life.
