I'm not a trained dancer, but I grew up in a culture that revolves around dance.

People think I like to expose my body. But I don't. It's just because the dance moves require it.

It's not easy to work with me, I recognize that. It's not easy if those people aren't as perfectionistic as I am.

I live for freedom, and freedom is a lie.

I just want to grow old with a man who takes care of me, and I want to eventually have kids and want them to be good children to me. Just want to be treated nice and have respect.

The music teacher thought I sang like a goat. It was kind of devastating. A few months after that, I participated in a music contest and won. I took my little trophy to school and rubbed it in his nose. I said to him, "What do you say now?"

In tough economic times, we have to make every dollar count, and studies have shown a return of up to $17 for every dollar invested in early childhood.
