As soon as I hear music, something in me starts to vibrate.

The particular ballet was not so important as the fact that I was physically healthy, and capable of getting out there and dancing as often as possible.

I liked tap, because I liked hearing the results of my movements.

I loved the stage not because it provided an escape from myself or my humdrum life but because when the curtain went up I could be whoever I wanted to be, and that was true freedom - to be myself.

But what was my motivation was music, and the fact that I love to move around. I'm always moving around.

I used to love to play dress-up, where you get your mother's or your grandmother's dresses and high heels.

I'm thought of as a cool, unemotional dancer, but inside I'm not.
