What winning is to me is not giving up, is no matter what's thrown at me, I can take it. And I can keep going.

If anybody had that cure out there like so many people swear to me they do, you'd be two things: you'd be very rich, and you'd be very famous. Otherwise, shut up.

I like to believe that I've got a lot of guardian warriors sittin' on my shoulder including my dad.

Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation will cause your worst fears to come true.

A person who can connect with their partner, another human being who can connect with their soul − it's not just learning steps, it's about expressing something. I've found in dancing all my life that I can release something as a dancer that I can't in any other way.

I've never been one to run from a challenge.

To be honest, I've made a game out of trying to live through my James Dean, Janis Joplin, Freddie Prinze, Jim Morrison period, those demons that we all have that we're either successful or not at making work for us rather than destroy us.
